And We're Back

Think SOPA's Evil or Just Stupid?

Today was an interesting one what with so much of the internet taking part in the SOPA/PIPA blackout. I took part in this little corner of the internet, not sure if anyone noticed but it made me feel better.

I also called and left a polite message for Senator Barbara Boxer urging her to reconsider her support for this legislation that was poorly considered, poorly written, over-broad and really, really dangerous. Last I heard, she was not one of the Senators or Congresspeople dropping their support.

I am still deeply saddened that one of the main supporters of this garbage is Senator Patrick Leahy from my home state of Vermont. Come on, dude, if you don't understand it then don't try to shut it all down or give the keys to the internet to the dinosaurs at the MPAA and RIAA. I expect and demand better of you. You are defending a nasty, noxious turd of legislation and you're still doubling down to defend it? Go meet with real people who live in the real world to get some real perspective on how really badly this is going to come back and bite you in your censorship loving ass. Seriously.
