Say NO to ACTA!

First SOPA and PIPA and now ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement)? Probably you have no idea what I am talking about and think I have turned into a crazy political activst? I have not. But I am a political person and I do believe in an open and free internet (which does not mean I support file sharing and copyright infringement!). I promise will eventually continue to share more fun things than this but if bills like SOPA/PIPA and ACTA pass and internet service providers are forced to control everything we do and share online there's probably not much to share on blogs anymore except some pictures of my cats...phew, at least Paxon can continue to ramble on the internet ;)...well, I may be dramatizing but there will be restrictions using blogging services, twitter, youtube and such. For sure. So if you care about the freedom of the internet, please take a minute or two and get informed. Oh, and ACTA is not only about the internet it's also about seed patents and generic drugs.
