There's this internet blackout thing going on today. You heard about it? I'm not intentionally being flippant about the opposition regarding SOPA and Pipa -- honest.
In fact, I signed Google's petition and not because I'm all that AND a bag of chips on the internet or anything.
However, after nearly a decade of clicking the "publish" button (sounds way cooler than 9 years, right?) you probably already know: I.M.A. Dork.
Still, words like censorship and boycott make me itch.
So, taking a cue from Miss Zoot (because, she's pretty AND smart) I am going to visit my favorite blogs AND tell my online friends just how glad I am that they decided to click the "publish" button, today.
Unless, their blog is all blacked-out or until the contractor who's supposed to give us an estimate on a new-ish roof gets here (he's late) then I'll just tell them tomorrow.
Because, words really do matter and they ARE SO my blogging friends (DAMMIT!)

I totally agree. I contacted Congress, shared a stop SOPA video on FB & Twitter, etc. But the whole boycott/blackout thing seems useless to me. Make people aware and contact your elected officials, THEN celebrate the freedom we DO have today. :-)

I contacted my Senator asking him to oppose the measure. I know that I alone didn't have a huge effect, but he did pull his sponsorship of the PIPA bill. Booyah!
