PIPA/SOPA

Everyone knows, by now, that PIPA/SOPA pretty much sucks. It’s a direct violation of the First Amendment to the U.S. Bill of Rights. Simply put, UNCONSTITUTIONAL! In the fallout of the passed few days, I’ve seen so many young people rise up and stand for what they believe in. Fighting for their rights. And it makes me so proud of my country, and the people in it, to see such a brave, smart, and proud nation rise up against a semi-Socialist government. Yes, our government is borderline Communist now. But, another thing that made me proud was how many spread the word and educated people on these 2 unfair bills congress is trying to pass. Bills being backed by the Music, Movie and Television industries. Sure, it’s not cool to steal music, movies or TV shows, but that doesn’t mean you have to go and violate our rights! This is a country full of people. Hard working Americans. Why make it more and more like a prison? Why push people into corners? Don’t you know that if you back an animal into a corner it’s going to act on instinct? It’s going to lash out in defense because it feels threatened. That’s not what being a nation united is supposed to be about. We are supposed to help each other to do better. To get better. To be a successful unit! I mean, this government is trying to takeover our lives! Our freedoms! First, there were computer chips put in Driver’s Licenses. Then, GPS tracking chips implanted into the feet of newborn infants. Then, “Checking-In” to a location which pinpoints your position on a map! Now, they want to control what we do on the internet? All of these things are DIRECT VIOLATIONS to the First Amendment. The government needs to stop with the control issues and be an open government like they promised to be. And leave our rights how they are! FREE! When people become oppressed, they tend to revolt. And then we have the government call us terrorists and activists, just so they can seem like the ones who aren’t wrong… Bullshit! If this doesn’t end, we’re gonna end up having a V for Vendetta movement on our hands… Let’s make this country a true democracy and not a dictatorship.
