It never fails to amaze me that those who advocate so strongly in their pursuit of bringing all the "freedoms" of a democractic republic that we model to the world, at the very dear expense of so many lives and injured, demonstrate their own hypocricy by supporting such legislation.
Our "first amendment freedoms" are being trampled.
Will they be silenced?
I don't believe so. Our voices will continue to be heard despite any and all efforts to silence them.
To paraphrase Martin Luther King, those that remain passive when liberty is denied, do so as an act of betrayal in their alliance with those that assault those freedoms.

DTS, I agree completely (of course you know that...not fair quoting Dr King). There is a quote from a TV show (Law and Order) that unfortunately also applies here:
"In the end, we have only those rights that we can defend...only those rights"
Again, I see little difference between Republicans and most Dems here...that is the worry! Gonna be tough for them to silence the net though....a movie quote (Serenity), "You can't stop the signal!" Lets hope so!
