I was hoping to post this earlier but I'm still working

In order for some protection for digital intellectual properties, some in Congress are pushing legislation that Will Kill Free Speech.

I highly encourage you all look into and read below if you are not already aware of it:

SOPA and PIPA - Learn more - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SOPA_initiative/Learn_more)

To see important sites blacked out, your online speech restricted and curbed, don't do anything.

SOPA and PIPA will do for the internet what cable did for TV...create bills. I think that we've been mined enough.

Government doesn't fix problems. It creates them, then subsidizes them.

I agree...the network administration would be a NIGHTMARE! Every day receiving sites to black list from the govt.
