Some things are more important than jibber jabbering about food. I am not very political and I promise I won't often talk about non-food topics. Today however I feel it is important to raise the issue of SOPA (stop online piracy act). Sure maybe I can respect an artist's need to earn their fair share from the wonderful things they create. Sure I believe that copyright should be respected.. But, I kinda like pirates I mean Johny Depp did play an awesome pirate in that one movie.. Most importantly though what the heck would happen to YouTube (heartbreak, many bored people, tears and a gallon or ten cartons of ice cream later). Really it's more than just YouTube that will be damaged by this.. it's so much information, and the freedom to access it. My challenge to you is to read the bill in it's entirety and see if you can support each item 100% then and only then should it be passed. It's so sad that there are many bills that by title alone you would guess it has to be a good idea, I would say it's similar to making a misleading headline.. but, in reality when you read the fine print like many contracts it's not as awesome as the headline suggests. I don't know if they decided long ago that passing the multi-item bill was more efficient for time or just a sneaky way to have some good things and some horrific things pass all at once because the good outweighed the bad or maybe they realized that if there is too much crap to read and the title was catchy it would pass without questions.. I don't have these answers but I do know that I'm not a fan of SOPA..
