This is NOT spam. I am looking out for you and your rights as a human being.

"Since Spring 2008, the European Union, the United States, Japan, Canada, South Korea, Australia as well as a few other countries have been secretly negotiating a trade agreement aimed at enforcing copyright and tackling counterfeited goods (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement). Specifically, leaked documents show that one of the major goal of the treaty is to force signatory countries into implementing anti file-sharing policies under the form of three-strikes schemes and net filtering practices.
At a time when important debates are taking place on the need to adapt copyright to the digital age, this treaty would bypass democratic processes in order to enforce a fundamentally irrelevant regulatory regime. It would profoundly alter the very nature of the Internet as we know it by putting an end to Net neutrality."

This is my signature. However, my signature is nowhere around here. Strange, is it not.

It's things like this that make me wish Ron Paul would take the presidency for a few years.

As leftie as I am, personal freedom and privacy are the two most important and basic rights that should always be guaranteed.

I too agree with the sentiment, but not with Ron Paul. The US does not need a racist pig dog in the top office...

Yes. If he by some chance wins the nomination, though, he will be destroyed as his racism will be brought out undeniably.

I did not know of this at all, either.

The hacker group Anonymous hacked some white supremacist websites, and it was revealed Paul had ties with them and communicated with them through email. That's all I heard about it.
