People don't know about SOPA and less know about PIPA. You and I know because we care and pay attention but its hardly a national issue because people are in the dark about it. Mostly because they don't understand jack about the internet or copyright law. Still its enough to get them on board when you explain that Facebook, Youtue, and Wiki are gone if this passes. I can go to jail for covering a song and posting it on LG, plus LG gets blacklisted because its responcible for user generated content. Kind of a big deal.
Your attitude towards this is what cause democracy to fail and why the US has the problems that it does. People stopped caring,stopped bing informed, and stopped being active. Failing to be an engaged citizen is the worst crime against your country because the system failsif you don't remain active in it. It makes a military guarding boarderswortless if the people its protecting are destroying them from the inside.
You write too much, and I hate reading too much.
