#4It's nice to know the US is trying to fight the worldwide plague of internet censorship and monitoring, DNS spoofing, and unilateral site shutdowns.
(cough cough SOPA cough cough DHS cough)
Yes sir, freedom of speech, freedom from unreasonable search, and "innocent until proven guilty", that's how we do it in the Land of the Free.

To be fair, it's not so different from the way we operate in every other situation.
e.g. championing free and fair elections and decrying other people's failures while passing a seemingly endless stream of poll-tax-esque disenfranchisement legislation here at home, in the name of combating voter fraud problems we've never actually seen manifest.
or decrying the "crony capitalism" of Taiwan and then China, while regulatory capture leaves us looking just as bad.
or decrying the income inequality in banana republics as evidence of corruption and social injustice, while deregulating and tax-cutting our way to the top of that list.

#9I hope they realize how damaging their own in house legislature like SOPA is damaging to their international efforts. They already look a bit more suspect with SOPA on the table and were it ever to pass they'd have the credibility of China.

Of course not. SOPA is common-sense legislation designed to protect the creative people in our society. It has nothing to do with Internet restrictions or censorship.
