I'm appalled not only by the act itself, but by how far reaching it is. I don't live in America but I know this will affect me just as much as it will affect the average US citizen. It does seem to be that the powers-that-be in the US respond to percieved threats by barging in, taking what they want, restricting what they don't like and then throwing an expensive party with the rich and famous.
Ok, that last part was slightly exxagerated. But the point stands. Capitalism and Democracy are two parts of the same machine, but they shouldn't be so deep in each others pockets that you can't see where one ends and the other begins. Because that probably means that companies are having too much say in what laws get passed and how the Government operates.
Looking at my post... If this were any other day, I'd think that I'd taken an overdose of conspiritheorum. It's a sad, sad thing that my imaginary drug has nothing to do with this.
