By the by, if you like the internet the way it is, click the STOP CENSORSHIP banner in the upper right corner and find out more. I kind of see what the lawmakers are trying to do here, but…

When people start talking politics, my brain goes somewhere else. I keep my mouth shut because I wouldn’t know what to say. I will say that if it wasn’t for all the politics, politics wouldn’t be so complicated. It all sounds like a bunch of fiddle-diddle BS that rarely ever amounts to anything in the end, or so it seems… I’m halfway afraid to vote on anything, thanks to the sneaky, unrelated “other purposes” that you might find if you’re willing to dig through the language.

I’ve always had the opinion that the crooks in DC are going to do what they do no matter how much we vote, rant, riot and jam up our senators’ phone machines. If I could find a way to believe that taking a stand truly made a difference to anyone but the one taking it, and if I didn’t care so much about my own self-preservation, I’d probably have a lot more to say in general. But whatever. I guess now that the threat of being suddenly jerked out of the endless maze of Youtube is inching ever closer to becoming a reality, a few good twentysomethings have looked up from their teeny tiny screens, uncrossed their eyes and – GASP – dialed a phone number! They said, “Uh, like, we like the internet and stuff!!!” A big Thanks is due to Google and Wikipedia (and the countless other websites who wore black yesterday) for getting some valuable attention on this issue.

Read more about it here, where they go into a bit more detail about how it may affect YOU:

If you’re interested in doing any boycotting, here is a list of corporations/organizations who support SOPA and PIPA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_organizations_with_official_stances_on_the_Stop_Online_Piracy_Act

Thanks for reading, enjoy the beads!
