Here we go.Story in brief: warrantless Internet wiretapping, even worse than the SOPA-PIPA schlock; sign the petition to stop it. I gotta hand it to Congress, as the government of the Free World, it sure is stubborn when it comes to undermining liberty. On a somewhat-unrelated note, is it just me, or does it seem like the Americans have an obsession with turning everything into an acronym? I mean, it's like that passage on the Direction Centrale de la Police Judiciaire in the friggin' Da Vinci Code (paraphrasing a bit here): "The DCPJ? Wasn't that the French equivalent of the US FBI?" I mean, I know brevity is the soul of wit, but come on..!

Don't you mean brevity is wit?
Also, I fixed the url. I like how my Rep opposed SOPA and PIPA but voted for this shit. And regarding acronyms, what else are you supposed to call it? Why do you want to slam people with a mouthful of ceremonial words or a random, meaningless number every time you mention something?

I dunno, maybe I'm just cranky over this slew of bills have really stupid-sounding names. Don't you mean brevity is wit? Well played, sir. Well played.

Last month we had an assignment for my Law and Justice class where we could rant about any injustice in the world. I got up on my sopabox and talked about Internet censorship.
