All Cut and Paste from:
The U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee met on Thursday to discuss thecontroversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), which is a copyright bill that many believe to be extremely dangerous for the future of the Internet as we know it.
What's more, they appear to be moving toward approving the bill, as the committee rejected six amendments that were supposed to address the concerns of those who believe the bill to be suspect. These rejected amendments included an amendment proposed by Rep. Darrel Issa (R - California) that would have gotten rid of the most controversial parts of the bill, namely the provisions that target search engines and ISPs.
The committee is led by the introducer of the bill, Rep. Lamar Smith (R - Texas). Smith Monday offered a 71-page amendment to the bill, which attempted to address some (but not most) of the criticisms of the bill. However, even after this amendment (read it here: PDF), Consumer Electronics Association CEO Gary Shapiro said the bill remained "unbalanced."

They call goats "their girls" and milk goats.
Goat milk can cause drowsiness and calms.

I have also noticed the absurd commercials by Creative America.org. They have attempted to imply that this is about protecting jobs which is an obvious lie. I might believe it if I wasn't more familiar with the subject but the only jobs they're protecting are those of the bureaucrats that restrict access to unauthorized information, not the people that do worthwhile research or other creative work. In fact if these workers don't adopt the appropriate ideology they risk being blackballed by the promotion and publishing industry so they're doing the opposite.

Do you expect that the same population that continued placidly munching grass while the government took away all their rights to speedy trial, to habeus corpus , to even be formally charged with an offence, to actually stand up and DO anything about this? Except, maybe, talk about it for a day?
Baa....... Baa....... Baaaaaaaa!
