Random Topics - How Hyperbole is KILLING THE INTERNET

As I trekked across the majestic lands of the Internet this fine evening, I discovered this article from the blog Boing Boing, which interrupted my appreciation of the night's sojourn and left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. That's what she said?

Anyway, the entry is a reprinting of a plea from a group called Fight for the Future concerning the Protect IP Act, an anti-piracy bill making its way through Congress. Here at The Casualty Report I normally like to keep things focused on the things that really matter, like fantasy books and movie trailers, and I try to avoid blogging about political matters because I have the fear that it will cause me to break out in boils and spout insufferable vomitus to everyone I come across. But 1) This particular matter is somewhat related to the stuff I cover and 2) This rant of mine isn't so much designed to talk about the substance of the bill, but rather the manner in which its opponents choose to argue.
