"So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause"

-Star Wars Episode III

I don't normally like to bore you with politics, but something strange is afoot in the US Congress, and it quite frightens me. If this disturbs you as well, please sign the petition.

For those of you who read this post yesterday, you will notice that I erased the whole moveon.org part, mostly just because it was too long and partly because it seems Congress came to an agreement, although it all still sounds a little sketchy to me. You can find the story here.
