		<description><![CDATA[With the massive protest against SOPA/PIPA comes the states response in the form of the takedown of filesharing site MegaUpload.com. It serves as yet another example that the state can and will do anything they want whether or not their actions are codified in some legalese passed by old men in a congressional chamber.

		<description><![CDATA[If this election&#8217;s primary season for the Republican nomination hasn&#8217;t presented enough evidence to show us the truth of this, then take a look at this article on io9. Turns out, democracies only work when large swathes of uninformed individuals side with a perceived majority. Well no kidding. What else would cause an endless cycle [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fat and happy from a wonderful family gathering over the holiday weekend, I returned to check my Facebook account this morning and was greeted with a liberal friend&#8217;s usual in-your-face Obama infatuation. This time, in the form of a supposed George Clooney quote basically putting down anyone who isn&#8217;t satisfied with Obama by making the [...]]]></description>

The man has basically caved on every plank of his campaign, embraced every reactionary idea, and sacrificed no expansion of his power. This is the same man who has [...]]]></description>

They want to be able point to a document and explain that they are simply following the law, not acting out their dominance fantasies.
