craigslist and google are doing similar. CL has a black page with some info and a link to info about SOPA and the email to send to gov. After 10 seconds a link appears to allow you to continue to CL. Google has a mask over its logo and a link under to send the SOPA email.

SOPA? ahh yes that SOPA

‎"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of power. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."

-- Daniel Webster, as quoted in Hearings on the confirmation of Abe Fortas to be an associate justice of the Supreme Court, p. 108

That is a great article Tommy. Thanks for sharing!

I often find it humorous (in a gallows humor sort of way) to consider how many Americans have died fighting "communism" and other forms of political suppression and totalitarianism, and yet the government we have today is hell bent on foisting the very same policies that in the past they claimed were bad enough in those other countries that they should conscribe Americans to go there, fight, and die trying to bring "democracy" to those suppressed and downtrodden populations.

Yet when talk happens here in our own country of people willing to fight to their own deaths to protect their own freedom from this very same government, well, they are branded as right wing radicals with extreme views contrary to the mainstream by the media.....

Freedom is freedom. If it's worth fighting for to bring it to other countries, then it is damned sight worth fighting for to protect and KEEP it here.
