CISPA will win out eventually. They'll just keep altering it until it's approved.

unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)

Can I please have a summary of the BILL?

I read the article, and I get the basics (threatening the privacy of the Internet and removing Free Speech) of the bill, but I'd like to know the specifics, like who gets targeted or if it's a blanket thing (Probably the latter).

'youngest gher yet'

shouldn't you be in school paying attention right now? You're obviously border illiterate if you cannot read a simple article. Especially considering the subject.

Just leave now? I can't see you helping by writing your congressman with that typical meme attitude. Maybe you can understand:

In this case yes, 'the internet is serious business'

I meant a summary of the Bill...probably should have been more clear.

That comment was rather rude, and I like knowing about these kinds of things.

So keep the population aware of what is at stake and let them vote for the guys who believe in freedom of speech.

Maybe it's just me but since when there is privacy on the Internet?

Brocaps, you forgot the majority shareholder of this corporation, the war industry.  Killing brown people is a $700bn/year industry, and Obama has proudly inherited the CEO position from Bush!  Funny how his supporters got duped by his blatant lie of a campaign, "Change".

 America is ****ed, Americans are too stupid and brainwashed to vote 3rd party, and by the time enough people wake up the ministry of love will send a pre-emptive drone to take you out for your dissidence. :(

Why should I tell the internet my SSN, mother's maiden name, send in a DNA sample, scan my retina, name my (non existent) spouse and children, and copy all of my DMV information?  The powers that be already have my name in their corporate database.  Privacy is a lie anymore.

freedom! 'murica!

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.
