</div><br>Woo, a link! woo...<br><br>I was elated to hear about Wikipedia's decision to blackout their site. Protesting censorship that would block access to information by [temporarily] locking down people's access to information ... will actually will work better than anything else I've heard to get the point across. If only Twitter, Facebook, etc. would blackout at the same time so people would not only lose their favorite sites but be UNABLE to voice their complaints via their usual web means! Just like the future we all fear.<br>
<br>Personally, I was hoping for a bigger Google blackout. You have to admit that a total Google blackout would be EPIC. I'd be totally willing to give up my own use of the site & e-mail for a few days just to see what would happen and observe the responses of people all around.<br>
<br>CHAOS.<br><br>ANARCHY.<br><br>PEOPLE IN THE STREETS WITH SHOES.<br><br>And then everybody discovers they didn't lose Google after all; the Google was in their heart all along. It's a very magical, touching moment.<br>
<br>Then, PIPA and SOPA are passed anyway and everybody goes back to work.<br><br>-- <br>-Snailssnailssnailssnailssnailssnailssnails<br>............. _@y<br><br>
