Don't fear it. Do not fear your government. Your government should fear you. Why? Because we are given the right to overthrow the government if we don't like it. How many people do you know actually are happy with the government?
As soon as t even one site on the Internet is censored (i.e. MegaUpload), riots and protests will begin to break out. See the outrage beginning? With ACTA and the bill for "protecting children from pornographers" (which really just gives the government the ability to go througo everything we do online) becoming more and more heard of (like SOPA), people are getting angrier and people like Lamar are getting cold sweats because they know that if they can't control us soon enough by censoring the Internet, we will learn more about the corruption and overthrow our current government before another SOPA can get through.

The Internet had its origins in 1969 as an experimental project of the Advanced Research Project Agency ("ARPA"). First called ARPANET, the network linked computers and computer networks owned by the military, defense contractors, and university laboratories conducting defense-related research. The network later allowed researchers across the country to access directly and to use extremely powerful supercomputers located at a few key universities and laboratories. As it evolved far beyond its research origins in the United States to encompass universities, corporations, and individuals around the world, the ARPANET came to be called the "DARPA Internet," and finally just the "Internet."
