when will it end??   :argh!:

is the passage of this bill (or a similar one) inevitable?
if not, what opposition to such proposed bills would be most effective?

Oh yeah, I signed that thing.  I'm glad someone posted it here, even though the title of this thread sounds more like something that retardo-noob might post.

On the other hand, it would make it really easy to troll sites out of existence.

ETA: In other news, how do we get around this?

Wow, that proposed policy actually, like, makes sense and junk.  And congress is considering it.  Suddenly, I feel as if I understand the world even less than I did a moment ago.

Never fear, they've got something exponentially evil and twisted to counter this.  I don't have (and don't want to look for, it's too depressing and upsetting) links, but they've passed a thing in the senate where they can suspend habeus corpus.

So all is right with the world.  :x
