Defending intellectual property my ass. I’m so pissed that congress thinks that they can make people believe that censoring the web is necessary because it’s under the guise of stopping piracy.
Piracy could be stopped easily. Servers that host pirating websites could be turned OFF. If the government wanted them gone, they could do it. I’m tired of being fed bullshit and people thinking I’ll eat it up without question.
I’m so pissed because I believe in America so much. I believe in freedom and I think it is so fucked up that I live in a country where our values have fallen so far. I’m tired of slowly giving up rights. I’m tired of pretending that I’m free because I think that maybe it’s not so bad. It is that bad. Slowly giving up little decisions that should be mine, no matter how small, is wrong because they should still be my right, my choice to make. If they keep taking away little things, soon they can take away big things, then anything.
The quote “When freedom is outlawed, only outlaws will be free” is my favorite for a reason. If it’s wrong to free, if it’s wrong to say what I want, what I think, if I need to be censored by law, fuck that, I don’t want to be right.
So if you haven’t signed the damn petition, do it. Do it right fucking now.

Alan Gribben, a Twain scholar, plans to re-release Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn without the word “nigger” or “injun,” and plans to replace them with the word “slave.”
Mr. Gribben, if you are a Twain scholar, you would know that this is an abomination to Twain himself and this historical piece of literature. I understand that this has been a controversial book throughout the decades, and a popular argument for the use of these words is that the book is a “product of the times,” and I for one think that this explanation is not just an acceptable “excuse,” but a fine argument indeed because if we start politically correcting everything from the past, we will be left with nothing but a lot of bullshit.
Why is the world full of so much of it lately.
