SOPA, PIPA, censorship

I am joining many others, and hopefully you too, in standing up against these pending bills in the House and Senate: PIPA and SOPA. Do you agree with the UN that internet access is a human right? I do. I already reached out to Congress expressing my disapproval.

You can do the same here.

Tomorrow is American Censorship Day and I’ll be participating, as you can see by the “Stop Censorship” image over my normal header. Congress is scheduled to vote on Friday, Dec 16.

The following video does a good job of explaining the intent of the bills and the ease with which they can be abused:
