questions about my Twitter\/Facebook\/Google Plus avatar, why did I put a [CENSORED] bar over it? \u00a0It&#8217;s not a joke involving innuendo or anything like that, it&#8217;s a sign to protest two bills that they are trying to pass in the USA, dubbed SOPA and PIPA. \u00a0You also may have already noticed I censored this site a while ago to get people to write their congressmen and senators. \u00a0I&#8217;m an American, I live in Canada but I am still an American and a voter, more so my host is in the USA so this would effect my site in addition to my enjoyment of the internet. \u00a0The bills are written in such a way that would give the government (and private citizens and companies) the opportunity to harass innocent people and punish someone they think needs punishing when they can&#8217;t stop them with other legal means. \u00a0You&#8217;ve seen it before, the local guy who is noisy against his local government gets tickets for jaywalking when no one else gets tickets in that city[true story].<\/p>\n<p>I wrote my congressman, Joe Courtney and my senators, my congressman actually sent me a letter back. \u00a0It&#8217;s a form letter telling me I don&#8217;t understand law and he is just trying to protect americans. \u00a0I highlighted the portions of the bill that I have problems with and explained why and told him if he voted for this bill then I would not be voting for him. \u00a0That was weeks ago, I don&#8217;t expect a reply. \u00a0I have not gotten a reply from either\u00a0Blumenthal or Lieberman and I&#8217;m not holding my breath. \u00a0It saddens me that as a voter I&#8217;m basically told I don&#8217;t count, am too stupid to understand law and am just simply ignored. \u00a0This isn&#8217;t how the world works, people have a voice and we will make our voice heard.<\/p>\n<p>How? \u00a0By blacking out the internet tomorrow. \u00a0Goodbye wikipedia, good by all those fun blogs you like to read. \u00a0The net is going dark&#8230; I&#8217;ll be fine, I have a lot of comics to read till it&#8217;s over. \u00a0What will you be doing?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is SOPA and PIPA? \u00a0Why should I be against
