As some of you may have noticed or at least heard about sites like Wikipedia, Reddit, and Etsy are shutting themselves down today to protest SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect Intellectual Property Act). Both of these acts would severely limit the freedom that one has on the internet. My faithfuls may already know that I do not support the acts one bit because if these acts go through, where will I get my free music? That isn't what I want to talk about however. I want to talk about how outrageous it is that this deal was even able to be proposed in the first place. Congress seems like a school administrative board sometimes. They only pass things because nobody goes to the meetings to object their crazy ideas. How is it that the only thing congress wants to try and pass is this act when there are soooo many more things they should be focusing on? It seems like these Conservative Republicans are always contradicting themselves. If they Support SOPA doesn't that mean they are basically using their almighty constitution as toilet paper? I present to you that special interest groups are behind all of this because in the end politicians will do anything for a buck. It's a shame to see something like this even be considered. America as a whole was doing so well embracing the progressive lifestyle and then the Tea Party came in and sent America back sixty years. When you think about it it's all Sarah Palin's fault, but maybe that's just my opinion.

Get it all on Spotify. Ha, that toilet paper line there was funny.
