Wow, something finally got your attention!

I refer, of course, to SOPA, PIPA and all the other Threats To The Intert00bz that have everyone so up in arms lately.  Now, there is a bit of a positive side to this whole affair, as it has been demonstrated that our voices still matter to some extent.  Former sponsors and supporters of these monstrosities are now fleeing from them as if these happy little bills had suddenly morphed into radioactive mutant zombie pit bulls on crack.  You netheads did that.  Well played, y'all.

However, this begs the question, "Where the hell have you all been up to now?"  Larry Correia, with a boost from Mike Kupari, spells out the real issues in no uncertain terms.

Each time you applauded their efforts. Mocked those that were concerned. Called them uncaring or racist or alarmist or stupid. Each time you asked for more. You begged them to take care of you, protect you, right wrongs, enforce equality.

But now that your Internet porn and bit torrents are threatened, NOW you care?

It’s too late for all that, kids. Turning off Wikipedia for a couple days isn’t going to win back the freedoms we’ve pissed away. It isn’t going to undo decades of expanding government power. They’ve already decided there’s nothing they can’t do, no law they can’t pass.

If America survives in any recognizable form, it'll be a miracle.  If even one percent of the anti-SOPA forces truly come to understand the concept of liberty, it'll be an even bigger one.
