It's called burnout. Why should we be signing petitions every few days,
evertime some pinko gets it up her but that someone's going to silence the
net.
These cries betray a deep ignorance of the economics of the Net, and an
ignorance of the leadership of Congress, in both parties.

The telecommunications bill is a huge give-away, but you the actitivists
don't give a damn about learning the issues and opposing the bill.
Instead, they whine about being able to shit, piss, and fuck. It's so
stupid. It might be a good thing to get kids of the net.
