Today, Congress holds hearings on the first American Internet censorship system. This bill can pass. If it does the Internet and free speech will never be the same. [Learn more here.]
Do you support this bill?
(LJ decided to eat both of my previous answers to this for some reason so I'll just do this the hard way I guess.)
Do I support this bill?
Well obviously not.
In addition to being another step down that slippery slope that ends in a complete 1984 scenario, it is very definitely unconstitutional. It is not the government's job to control what I watch/do/say on the internet!
Make a fuss! Let your local representative know that this is not okay:

The Simpsons. The first 7 or 8 seasons were good, but it went steadily downhill from there. I'm shocked it's still on the air. It should've been canceled 15 years ago.
How y'been? I've been good. Working on an illustration to sell at Wizard World, watching silly internet videos, being obsessed with Mumford and Sons. Y'know the drill.
So yeah. Maybe a little warning before you go offline next time? There are posts on here that I'd rather not lose!
Today is the hottest day on record for this date (in this area).
It is 98 degrees [f] according to the thermometer on the porch (which is in the shade).
So naturally the air conditioner chooses today to stop working. AWESOME.
And as an added bonus, the guy who is supposed to fix it won't be available until tomorrow, after it cools down. Of course!

Today is just all sorts of fantastic.
On that note, you can tell which cats are the smart ones, because they're the ones chillin' downstairs where it's like, 10 degrees cooler.* The dumb ones are upstairs on the couch looking at me like, "Why is it not cool in here? It was cool in here yesterday. MAKE IT SO, HUMAN."
*You might be wondering why I'm not down in the basement chillin' with the smart cats myself. That is a very good question. The best I've got is: "But upstairs is where my computer is!"
