But it's just that... SOPA doesn't really bother me. A small part of me... actually... a naively LARGE part of me wishes the bill would pass. And that the Internet would explode in a chaotic censorshipalooza. And that the government and big business would slowly gain control over it.
Then nobody would be able to access anything they wanted. It would be like a day without Wikipedia, only worse. Nobody would know how to write a research paper or find out a fact. There would be young people walking around aimlessly, bumping into each other, with a little bit of drool coming out of the corners of their mouths.
And, and then, then, the only smart people left would be the ones with all the lasting information. They'd be the rebels, the people who knew how to survive without the Internet. The people who owned and knew how to read books.
And I would have a huge library. And people would come to it and read my books. And I would have a big banner that reads VIVA LA PRINTING PRESS!
I just read this out loud to the girl I nanny. SO ENJOYABLE.
