why did the go dark with only the english version of wikipedia? seeing a large amount of people speak other languages in usa and can do without the english version, what kind of a point are they trying to get across to bilingual people?

It will probably end up like the gambling bill. Was passed to protect us from scam books like UltimateBet and the Libtards used it to try and shutdown every offshore gambling site.

A line from the above link....This is what is so wrong with American Politics=


Well-funded interests on either side of SOPA and PIPA are lining up support among members of Congress.

I agree, we have many issues here but the biggest problem with the States are all the Special Interest groups....these politicians are suppose to work for the people not these useless groups, it boggles my mind sometimes how they have so much influence on policy and legislation, it is just not right.

Good point, but every special interest group starts off as one person with an idea, who bands together with similar minded people. An organized lobby uses money to gain political forum under the premise of supporting awareness of their issue. Which inspires other like minded people to back a candidate who appeals to them, as it inspires candidates to back "hot button" issues for votes. My point is that any legislation is either a reflection of popular opinion, or the result of a bunch of hard working people bringing an issue to the forefront.
