<DIV>Yes I signed the petition and I facebooked it, so as to publish it to at least 4 ;-(</DIV>

<DIV>Rights are not maintained by silence. Rights require wars, wars-battles, battles -skirmishes and ultimately one person resolving to do battle. No matter the size of this conflict, it is important that each of us stand up and resolve to do our part to stop the deterioration of our rights. Each little notch leads to another. Each silence leads to more silence against usurpation of the Internet. Bad things happen when good women do nothing. Be thankful that this war is so far not violent.</DIV>
