Sorry for the double post, but I read the article and it was beyond the time I could edit my original post.

Here is a like to the White House response to two online petitions concerning SOPA et al:

MSN had a poll asking about people's feelings about it, and 51% didn't know what it was, second largest number was against it, followed by for it and finally no opinion.

And that right there is one of the biggest problems with this country. Way to many people have no idea what is going on in government nor what laws our lawmakers are trying to pass and how they affect us. I admit I don't pay enough attention to what's going on myself.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

That's why I felt it was important to mention it here. Both acts have gotten absolutely zero play in the mass media. I only found out about it because I follow Tech News Today almost religiously (Thank you TWiT App on Android). I however believe that this is an important issue and the least I could do is bring it up here.

they flow from me,
inscribed but now unbound,
I touch them,
and they are real,

Wikipedia is going lights out tomorrow to protest SOPA.

Mozilla (Firefox) has an announcement about SOPA when you log on, as well. :cool:

It didn't for me. I did leave Firefox open overnight but I just closed and reopened it and nothing.
