The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    You don't need to be worried about either of SOPA or ACTA. CISPA is the real threat. It snuck up when everyone was fretting over the first two. It's essentially the Governments paying businesses to gain information such as phone numbers, addresses and other things via computer networks.

    They will just tweek and churn out this sh!t until it goes through.

    It's a sickening example of how strong the ties run between the corporate elite and the political elite. It's ironic how the corporate lobby want to protect their intellectual property so aggressively on the one hand and take our personal information on the other.

    That would create something approaching a captive market. A captive market is not a competitive market. Ironic, again, how the corporate lobby preach the mantra of 'competition' to the governments of the world.

    If we don't like it and try to do something about it, fine - some police-man will sit us in a line and pepper spray us in the face. Great. We're so god-damn liberal... right?

    Funny how the governing elite from here and accross the pond want to roll back the state a la Milton Freedman whilst we drown under the neo-liberalist proliferation of beaurocracy. The two seem contrary ideologies.
    Control by fear (anti ballistic missiles on roof tops, terrorrism), goverment by surveillance and red tape.
