Hello fellow bloggers,
I apologize for not getting my blog post in on time... I don't want you to think I'm a careless crackhead or anything, because I'm not. I am, however, a procrastinator, but that is beside the point. My very educated mother decided that the family should go on a random beach trip to Hilton Head on Thursday, and I didn't get back until last night at ungodly hours. I couldn't figure out how to do any of this on my iPhone because I'm new to the technological team, so I do apologize, it won't happen again. I'll probably post something tonight regarding the recent SOPA and PIPA censorship issues, which seem to be a major impending form of containment in recent times. Blogs are swimming with complaints and opinions concerning the issue, because, it would, in a sense, be a "blogger" genocide. I think this is a very obvious containment of a cultural norm, and the fact that the government was even slightly considering passing some sort of bill regarding this issue is a blantant display of ignorance to how important it is that the internet ISN'T censored, and how important the people in charge of websites and technology really are to today's society. They hosted blackouts on many websites in January to protest these issues, and it's amazing what the people are capable of. Anyway, I do apologize again, you all can stone me to death in the town square later if you wish.

I look forward to reading your thoughts about the issue. While the idea of trying to stop piracy is a good one, I'm sure many would agree that we fear the power given to corporations and government agencies over all content, and that that power would be abused, and it would be difficult to stop once it started.
