STOP SOPA/PIPA
Tickles:
Though I agree that these proposed bills are misguided, the U.S. government has a history of not listening to it's citizens on more than one occasion. we can protest, petition, make valid points, and even provide evidence that this bill should not be passed, but the house rule is the house rule, and only the president can veto it, but even then, the house can override the veto and pass the law without anymore consent. I'm hoping for the best as well, but It's almost useless to do anything now. Cooperations, large companies, or as we say the "rich," have the government by the loins, and they will not let go. Basically, if it's good for business, then it will be passed. Sad truth.

Yes, and thats the point of the continuing efforts. It can still be sneakily added in chunks to other pieces of legislation, which is why the fight is not over. But side note, I just seen a report on the news about Anonymous and their threats and well...its so weird, I'm used to Anonymous just being a popular internet meme and YouTube presence but now they're making national headlines. Hats off to those guys man.
