[klaus]

We make it a point to have no official opinion or involvement in politics but today is a rare exception.

Today January 18th, 2012 many website try to raise awareness of an imminent danger to the existents of the internet as we know it today and we at RDC join the movement. You may noticed a splash-screen upon your entry of race-dezert.com. If not this is what you missed. http://americancensorship.org/

What is this all about?
After thinking long and hard on how to write this post choose to link to a blog post on reddit that explains the cause of todays protest best in my opinion. http://blog.reddit.com/2012/01/techn...-sopa-and.html

On Reddit, I saw that someone had dubbed today "The most productive day in modern history." Too bad Facebook didn't join the blackout.

The Gov. has no common sense anymore. Get rid of all current congress and senate. Start over with all new. It cant be any worse than they are now. I have a dream - that our Gov. not be corrupt , two terms max, no retirement on the taxpayers dime and they have to abide by all the same laws as ordinary citizens. Would that be to much to ask!! Carry on
