    Default Think SOPA and PIPA Are Bad? This is Even Worse

    lamar Smith, author of SOPA and the moron who wouldn't give the Paul/Frank Marijuana bill a hearing, is now trying to pass this bill:

    The Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act of 2011

    "under language approved 19 to 10 by a House committee, the firm that sells you Internet access would be required to track all of your Internet activity and save it for 18 months, along with your name, the address where you live, your bank account numbers, your credit card numbers, and IP addresses you've been assigned."

    "We're in two wars that are costing us trillions of dollars. Those trillions of dollars should have been left in the economy to build jobs and produce prosperity here at home" - Ron Paul

    "We spend 1.5 trillion dollars overseas in wars we don't need to be in and we need to cut there. And then put that money back into our economy here." - Ron Paul

    Theocrats...
    "For if you [the rulers] suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves [and outlaws] and then punish them."

    Wow...this is practically a backdoor to requiring licenses to access the internet.
    "When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system's game. The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight, because once they've got you violent then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don't know how to handle is non-violence and humor. "

    They make it to protect the children so people against it sound like they do not want to protect children. Its overused and unfortunately it still works.

So advocates of liberty must reject incremental approaches and fight boldly for bedrock principles.

    I need an education in US history, from the ground up. Can you help point me to a comprehensive, unbiased, scholarly resource?
