American Exceptionalism Means Politicians Who Take Responsibility and Face Our Problems

Gary Shapiro, Contributor to Forbes

President and CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association

“To hear President Obama explain it in last night’s State of the Union Address, the real problem affecting job growth and economic recovery is that millionaires and billionaires don’t pay enough taxes. What a change from year ago, when the President spoke forcefully and eloquently about rebuilding America’s innovation engine. He mentioned the need for innovation last night, but it was your typical SOTU throw-away line, buried beneath mounds of class-warfare rhetoric. This might be good politics, but it won’t put a single American back to work. I heard brilliant oration but felt sad that President Obama chose to divide and campaign, and ignore our problems, rather than have an honest discussion of our fiscal reality, provide leadership and unite our country.” -Read More-

US Cybersecurity Efforts Trigger Privacy Concerns

 

By LOLITA C. BALDOR Associated Press
WASHINGTON January 27, 2012 (AP)
“”The federal government’s plan to expand computer security protections into critical parts of private industry is raising concerns that the move will threaten Americans’ civil liberties.

In a report for release Friday, The Constitution Project warns that as the Obama administration partners more with the energy, financial, communications and health care industries to monitor and protect networks, sensitive personal information of people who work for or communicate with those companies could be improperly or inadvertently disclosed.” -more-

 

NBC legally obliged to run Romney ad it wanted pulled

By JOSH GERSTEIN |

1/29/12 2:02 PM EST

“An NBC-owned TV station is reportedly continuing to air a Mitt Romney ad that the network has asked Romney to pull, prompting charges of hypocrisy.

But the situation isn’t particularly surprising since broadcasters are legally required to run any ads candidates present—as is.

NBC and former Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw asked Romney’s campaign to drop the ad—which consists almost entirely of a clip from a 1997 Nightly News broadcast discussing then House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s reprimand for ethics violations.” -more-

  • “Democrats, long the darlings of the technology industry, might be losing some of their fundraising edge in Silicon Valley.

    With major firms spending more than ever on politics, Silicon Valley has become a necessary stop on the campaign trail for Republicans, too, and lobbyists warn that the industry’s allegiance to Democrats might be waning.” -more-

WHAT do I DO??

do not waste your time signing petition for SOPA /PIPA..
you MUST contact your reps directly . they count direct contact not petition we learned this the hard way with the tea party . craigslist has a good page here for contact info: http://www.craigslist.org/about/SOPA

Say you own a brick and mortar store and some punk spray paint expletives on your wall over night . It’s 7 am in the morning and you don’t know there are naughty words on your building yet because you are in bed… At 8 am an hour before you get to work, the government comes by a bulldozes your store , the whole building, because the naughty words are visible to the public…. it’s like that.. this is the kind of bull this makes illegal..
other sites have been shut down for having ad-sense links..

http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/211832/courts_shut_down_82_site…

as a host/designer . I do not have control over random adds feed to my site by google.. I’d also like to point out that those add appear based on people browser search history. IE. if an offical who regularly looks for counterfit and knock off products searches my site . it’s HIGHLY probable that Google will HELP them find those items . I’ve also had a blog red listed by google for an UNAPPROVED comment that listed “counterfeit Chinese products” . the comment was deleted

. everyday I have to screen users and members and i run a pretty tight ship as far as person spam filtering goes but why should i be punished for thing i do not condone or allow in the first place on my websites , just becuse i’ve had a busy day at work and havn’t clear my (not even visable to the public ) queue? Also just because another site with this links to my site.. that’s not me selling anything wrong or infringing on a copy-write of any individual.. that SEO scripts like the above mentioned doing there job by trying to lumping word searches .. Just because you see a link some where doesn’t even mean those sites are connected. bigger crime here is people who have NO CLUE how the internet works are writing laws to police it. SOPA and PIPA take a very generized approce to “combating Piricy” the way they work is much like the test runs we saw in 2010 . instead of contacting the websites admin and working with them to correct the problem , they shut own an entire server ….

for most websites the type of links and content that the governemt is “fighting” are items that are placed there by foriegn spamm bots , or malicious code. the admin may not even know they were infected yet . but instead of useing a scalple and working with the webadmin to correct a problem .

This Bill gives the government a sledge hammer.
