I've been really out of the loop as usual. Someone just mentioned this on twitter:

I once saw a sign that said "sin is death" but if "all deaths are suicide (linda goodman)" and suicide is sin, then shouldnt "death is sin" be more appropriate?

when organic is used to describe food then you know we have come to a dark age in history

If SOPA passed, I could take down LL by posting tones of copyright images here!

Anyone could

Martin Niemöller (1892-1984) was an ardent nationalist and prominent Protestant pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler and spent the last 7 years of Nazi rule in concentration camps. Niemöller is perhaps best remembered for the quotation:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me.

I got informed earlier when clicking upon Wikipedia led to a similar explanation for the protest against internet censorship.

I hope for THEIR sake they don't pass that ridiculous law. There will be NO ONE on their side from common people. Expect a major upheaval around the free world if that ever got voted.

It makes every hair on my skull and body stand up.

just curious: how likely is it that this will pass?

(realistically)

stuff like this is scary

shouldn't Congress be focused more on things like alleviating poverty and improving education?

Oh there is no doubt this would have passed had the internet community not rallied despite more or less zero mainstream-media coverage until now...

Wired.com... one of the top tech mags on the net is hardly giving it a look in! Unfraking believable!
Edit - Ya right after I made this post, they finally front paged a SOPA article... proof that Lindaland still has internet clout Rarrrrr

At the moment though ,I do not feel it will pass, at least in its current form. As a community we cannot take our Iron boot off of SOPA's face because once its out of the bag, its a downward censorship spiral to 1984...

Lei, you're right, we cannot let up.
I had heard about this coming for several months now and I had originally thought it might be a hoax. These people need to GET IT that this won't pass no matter what they say/edit/do/vote. It's against basic human freedoms and rights.

People are often confused about me politically.
Well, my beliefs can be summed up in the following original saying by Voltaire:

quote:

---

I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it

---

For me it is ALL about liberty of speech. That is why I often defend people I may actually disagree with confusing both parties to no end (lol).
This is my Aqua rising conj Mars in Aqua trine Uranus in Libra in all its glory.

So I don't care who these people are. There will be no precedent of this monstrous censorship law anywhere in our world. It's up to us to make it be this way.

They probably don't care about us. But I would have to be diligent about banning violators and removing content. Might even have to create some Administrators with banning and all-forum deleting power.

In (dis)honour of SOPA:

I also printed out all of Wikipedia last night s if you want something just gimme a buzz n I'll email the article to you

------------------
Ask Me anything. Anything. I will contrive to bring you the answer. The whole universe will I use to do this. So be on the lookout. This book is far from My only tool. You may ask a question, then put this book down. But watch. Listen. The words to the next song you hear. The information in the next article you read. The story line of the next movie you watch. The chance utterance of the next person you meet. Or the whisper of the next river, the next ocean, the next breeze that caresses your ear—all these devices are Mine; all these avenues are open to Me. I will speak to you if you will listen. I will come to you if you will invite Me. I will show you then that I have always been there. All ways.
