SOPA / PIPA - Why all the Black?
 
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

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.

There is no need for the govt to do ANYTHING with the internet as it works just fine without them......its not broken DONT fix it.

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

And soon when not buying your vote, silencing your thought.

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