I am against this ridiculous regulation. but you do know that this petition won't change a thing, right?
Politicians (including the all-powerful president of the US) are in the pockets of multis. Multis that you helped grow that powerful.
I don't really care if the US gets disconnected from the internet; there's not much value coming through the sockets from that direction anyway... |

| The petition will change a lot of people's views on the matter. Many people don't even know what SOPA means so there's informative value in the petition at least. |

| Governments are only in power because the people allow them to be. Who do you think staffs the military? If you think people in any country won't give a shit you're sadly mistaken. Americans aren't any different here either. Cross the line and watch a shit storm happen. |

I think that the wikipedia blackout was more successful in getting the attention than a petition signed by 100k.
People say a lot of s**t when they are at home and feel safe. Once their house is burning, they shut up and do whatever the others are doing. That is called fear. A "substance" best controlled by the government; especially in the US. |
