You're right Sull, I have been reading a lot about this and some
other issues as well, and it seems very clearly that Congress does
not have a clue about this and what it could really mean......we have
to be vocal about it and we have to do something about it.......but
will it be enough..........I plan on vlogging about it tonight.....
Same here. I think we might even post it on all the active sites, like (shudder) youtube, etc....get wicked exposure.
People need to know what road this puts us on if it goes through. The Internet is responsible for connecting so many people, so many communities and something like this tosses that all straight down the toilet.
