Stop PIPA NOW! Or This Site is Done For…

by John P.

The PROTECT-IP Act is a bill that has been introduced in the Senate and the House and is moving quickly through Congress. It is scheduled to go before the Senate on January 24, 2012. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said he plans to bring it up on the first day the Senate is back in session.

It gives the government and corporations the ability to censor the net, in the name of protecting “creativity”. The law would let the government or corporations censor entire sites – they just have to convince a judge that the site is “dedicated to copyright infringement.”

65th Anniversary of WWII Japanese-American Internment

July 3, 2007

We are squarely in the center of the anniversary of one of the most un-American acts of any President and congress in recorded history – the forced internment during World War II of 120,000 people of Japanese decent – of which 62% were US citizens.

Night Photography of Washington D.C.

May 17, 2007
