Go, girl.
ReplyDeleteYou know it!
DeletePossibly our most valuable right.
ReplyDeleteGood move! Like the way you handled that. I assume no Sharpie on the screen was necessary.
ReplyDeleteThanks, man. The kids took care of the Sharpie for me.
DeleteExcellent!
ReplyDeleteThanks, lovely!
United we stand!
I had to come back & redo the resolution of the infographic from AmericanCensorship.org I have posted...
It was taking too long to load.
Google in solidarity with the SOPA/PIPA Strike has slowed the web down to a crawl.
Good on them!
This is an historic moment.
I sincerely doubt either bill will pass as written now after all this brouhaha,
but they will be re-drafted so the pressure must be kept at our representatives' jugulars.
Okay, time to black out again. :)

Thanks for putting together such a lovely post for me to link to. Pressure there will be. Some things I won't let slide - 1st Amendment being one of them. Way too important to me.
DeleteI am so out of my league. All I can do is take it all in, and thank you for attempting to continue urging me into the 21st century. It's nice to know that a good thing, such as First Amendment Rights, is still in vogue.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's still in vogue with a lot of people. It would seem that there are some who would rather not deal with the nuisance of it, though.
DeleteI hate copyright infringement but I hate censorship even more...copyright infringement is a problem but let's not pass a poorly written law because of it.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the answer is but sure as hell know SOPA ain't it.
I completely agree with you. Our copyright laws are antiquated in a lot of ways and they need careful and thoughtful reconsideration to bring them into this century. But hastily written laws to protect a few, powerful, moneyed entities are not the answer.
