So this is what its gonna come down to, passing laws under the rader, before the public has a chance to review the affects of the law and able to form an honest opinion on it.
Nothing new here. The difference is that with the internet it is just getting harder for them to hide it.
Which is why there is more and more attention on cracking down on the internet. Of course in the name of stopping all kinds of bad things from happening like they always do.
Our Liberty and Freedom were not seized from us but eroded away one tiny law at a time
I just want to amend something to my comment. I only agree with that part I posted. In the rest of the article their are some very UN-PC (read: bigoted, racist) statements I don't agree with.
A point you missed. (Agree with you though) It wasn't those SOPA supporter owned distribution channels that created the Anti-SOPA feeling because they wouldn't. The 'net allowed facts with and without spin to be read by all.
Most crises, other than natural, are the inventions of devious minds, they are the tools that have been – and will always be – used to seize power, to circumvent laws, to institute control, and to enable undesirable change. A crisis simply means that some person or a group of people has either created or simulated circumstances to influence some event or to promote a desired activity. Adolph Hitler was a master at creating crises, he promoted a series of such that enabled him to establish a fascist despotic rule over a nation and its people, to institute wars upon sovereign nations, to seize territory, to encourage genocide, and to force his will upon a major portion of the world.
In our own society environmentalists manufacture crises to abridge self-determination, to limit personal prerogatives, and to curtail various lawful activities and technical advances of which they autocratically disapprove. These may be identified by a display of obsessive-compulsive behavior when in the presence of chainsaws, bulldozers and construction equipment; they are only at ease while hugging a tree or in the presence of snail darters
Social do-gooders devise crises of various sort to force their personal, often totally selfish and stupid, desires upon their neighbors, upon those who are culturally different, upon the children of families other than their own, and upon businesses and industries who produce and sell products that they personally deem undesirable or inappropriate. The notable feature of them is that their noses are extraordinarily long, an anomaly born of sticking them into the business of others.
And now we come to the most pestilent, the most dangerous, the most consistent, and the most fearsome perpetuator of false crises – the U.S. government. Most everything that the educated morons of our government carry out – on both the administrative and bureaucratic levels – is born of a crisis predicated upon simulated circumstances. That monstrous boondoggle Obamacare is a case in point.
do not turn your head to either side and keep walking straight. Focus on the point of light you see in front of you. This is the only way you will remain safe. Ignore all sounds you may hear as they have nothing of importance to say or that you need to concern yourself with. We will keep you safe and get you to your next goal safe, but only if you follow our directions
This is what I imagine is being whispered in to the politicians ears as the MPAA/RIAA lead them to the end of the cliff
They will never pass laws that can be easily read and understood by anyone without a law degree (like the Constitution) because if they start doing that then they would be out of a job.
They believe they can negate Obsolescence through Obfuscation. (Say that out-loud one time fast)
After reading it through I agree with you. Basically what he is saying it that we are playing wack-a-mole. We defeat SOPA and then next year we get something else but this time they try to be sneakier. (They have does this before) Maybe break the large law in to small pieces that they pass as 1 line in 2700 page bill.
Hopper: Let this be a lesson to all you ants! Ideas are very dangerous things! You are mindless, soil-shoving losers, put on this Earth to serve us!
Flik: You're wrong, Hopper. Ants are not meant to serve grasshoppers. I've seen these ants do great things, and year after year they somehow manage to pick food for themselves *and* you. So-so who is the weaker species? Ants don't serve grasshoppers! It's *you* who need *us*! We're a lot stronger than you say we are... And you know it, don't you?
See when you are so entrenched in the methods and ways of dying, long tail businesses you can only see it from that view.
You see Google as the bad guy because you can't see the little guy as anything but a minor nuisance. In the old way of thinking it's get big or die and therefore only the big matter.
To prove my point I give you an inspirational quote from "A Bug's Life" the movie:
You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up! Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one and if they ever figure that out there goes our way of life! It's not about food, it's about keeping those ants in line. That's why we're going back! Does anybody else wanna stay?
I don't get it. How could my comment be taken as anything but a serious comment? Mega-Content sure believes it is true. So therefore since they believe then it must be true.
