Completely agree... its sad how corrupt the US government is and its all bundled up in official terms that everyone takes for granted - lobbying, contributions, etc. US politics has become more and more a corrupt money grubbing system where actual governance and society is not considered. The people voting on this despite what they say are not thinking about how this affects the US society so our pleas are falling on deaf ears.

If it passes it seems like the unique power this community has is technical expertise. As some have already been doing, we should be talking about solutions that allow society to bypass SOPA (hopefully without anyone getting sent to Guantanamo).
