i dunno if you guys are aware of this or care about this, but congress is trying to pass some bills that would enable them to censor certain websites. the bills are "supposed" to protect intellectual properties (music,videos,etc.) from copy right infringement but the implementation of these laws would give the government the ability to censor(completely ban) any website it deemed a threat to businesses, sites like any torrents site or sites where you can download music and videos like rapidshare. they would be able to force internet service providers (the people who give you your internet) to ban these websites, force search engines like google and yahoo from displaying their sites in search results, banning advertisement for these sites, and forcing payment processing companies from doing business with them.

if you want to sign a petition to congress against these bills you can click on the google doodle or go to http://google.com/takeaction
i normally don't care about issues like these and don't try to convince other people to take my point of view, so i am just letting you guys know the issue and where you can go to do something about it.

you could also write your congressman a physical letter if you want to, they still do that you know lol.
