Alexandra Petri in Washington Post: "Stop SOPA"
http://j.mp/s7VKVn (Washington Post)
"Either the people behind the bill don't realize the horrible
possibilities it would leave open, or they're doing it on purpose. I'm
not sure which possibility is more frightening. The phrase "a bill
that would open up unprecedented tools for online censorship is
currently being discussed by a group of middle-aged people who did not
grow up with the Internet" has the same chilling effect on me - and
most Internet watchers - as the phrase "your child has just been
handed to a drunk bear on a tightrope over a pit of molten lava." Our
palms begin to sweat. We start dashing off letters to everyone you can
think of. And we're right to be terrified."
