Is the US Justice Department just getting started?

Another shutdown by the USA Justice Department

Is there a good reason for all this upset or is the USA just showing its muscles?

This is exactly why SOPA had to die.  Government agencies don't have the expertise to determine whether it's a legitimate business being abused by a few users, or a den of thieves.  They'd benefit from hiring a few 12 year olds to run a google search before pulling the plug on someone's internet.

I read a follow-up article saying that jotform was put back online today. The Secret Service said they were too busy to explain why they shut the site down.  ::)

This is part of the death throes of the 'old guard'. Depending on whom you read, it might be the beginnings of the death throes of Capitalism.....but we won't go there.

It's impossible to kill Capitalism unless you provide everything every individual could possibly want for free.  As long as people have desires and the ability to work, they will want goods in exchange for services.  Capitalism is the natural order of things. 


I'm not saying that unregulated capitalism isn't a horrible unfeeling monster, but to say taht it could ever be eliminated completely... well it's like saying soon people will stop having sex..... good luck with that. ;)

Until large quantities of LSD is thrown into the mix...
