America's black communist president saves the internet :)
Which is what it would take.  Republicans have been looking forward to dismantling the internet and restricting the flow of information for years now.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

My kid has a baseball he throws around the house  :cool:

Fortunately at 14 months he does not have much of an arm.

:D

My 8-month old girl likes sit in her high chair and drop things that make loud sounds.  Then when she sees the startled/annoyed look on my face she tilts her head to the side and smiles.  She's going to get away with murder :mellow:

I think that's mostly the old ones, who don't understand what the internet is.  But in this case it's bipartisan ignorance.

They understand to well.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Hopefully we'll get some wikileaks.

They understand to well.

They understand that the MPAA, et al, will donate lots of cash to their campaigns if they push through this bill. That's as much as they want to understand.

Contrarians, and crazy people.  So probably some people on Languish, but not many else where.  If you wanted to get back at Wiki wouldn't you simply not use it?  The only people affected are those who use it.

Sent an e-mail to my local Rep, Richard Hanna.  Combined my thoughts on the legislation plans with a general endorsement of what he's done so far.  I've been more pleased than disappointed I voted for him. :thumbsup:

My current Rep thinks that Global warming is some kind of conspiracy or something. :(
