Ooh, that's cool.  *Click* *Share*  Hey everyone look at this!  Most everyone has done this.  You find something neat and you want to show your friends.  It's natural, but more importantly, if SOPA and PIPA get passed, it'll also be illegal.  I don't mean flick a cigarette, get a ticket illegal, I mean steep fines and years in prison illegal!  Not only will you be busted, but you'll get the website that you shared it to taken down for potentially millions of people.

What do these people think they're doing?  I'll tell you.   The big money media players have bought their way into the government and they're passing obscene laws which only support the only industry that hasn't been bludgeoned to death in this economy.  Here's another spin they don't mention...  These laws put an extreme load on the internet service providers.  You'll have everyone who wants to claim foul sending letters to the ISPs WITHOUT DUE PROCESS to have SUSPECTED infringing sites pulled completely down.  I mean really?!?!  So I'm peeved at FOX News so I can send a letter to their ISP that they're using some supposed piece of intellectual property I have rights to and can pull them offline?  Hmm... OK so that example has potential, but that's not my point.  My point is the ISPs will be required to act on each of these complaints.   This puts a load on the already thin-stretched IT departments with no benefit to their respective companies, so their bean counters will just continue to ship more of our jobs overseas!    
When are these people going to learn that when all the good jobs are shipped out of the country, there won't be anyone to buy from these companies?

    I am by no means a expert on politics, economics, or psychology.   I do have a desire to see this country pull its head out of its collective a$$ and get back to using common sense.

    I also have absolutely no tolerance for stupidity, gangs, drugs or violent crimes.
