Thank you Euro's

It's been a tough ride in the people vs government/big corporations war. The people suffered a huge loss when the NDAA got passed.
It passed with nary a protest and I'd still say most people are unaware the politicians took an enormous diarrhea shit all over the constitution, passing a law that allows U.S. citizens to be detained indefinitely on the accusation of being involved with Al Quida or the Taliban.

Very much to my surprise SOPA, the copyright bill which would have given companies the right to block domain names of web sites they felt were engaging in or enabling copyright infringement, garnered HUGE opposition from both individuals and large technology companies like google that the bill wound up getting pulled. For now.

Another incredibly nasty piece of work ACTA also seemed to pass with little protest. This is not surprising since it was negotiated in secret.

There is, however, a dim hope. In Europe, at least people are waking up.

"Massive demonstrations against the draconian anti-piracy treaty ACTA are spanning four continents, with protests in more than 200 European cities alone. Hundreds of thousands of people are taking to the streets to prevent their countries and the European Parliament from putting the free Internet at risk by ratifying ACTA"

So from Monkey 2 U thanks Euros. Thank you for finally bringing MUCH needed attention to a rotten trade agreement which has slithered like a poisonous snake through the garden of freedom largely unseen and unopposed. Thank you for shining a light on the cockroaches in governments that have supported this.

  Te saluto.
