well, I don't know if this is any indication of the overall public opinion, but every comment I've looked at on the CNN article is anti-SOPA, I don't know if its the "reddit-types" who have found the article and are commenting or if its really indicative of the average CNN-reader but, if it is, I think that simply voting these clowns out of office may be becoming a more real possibility.

You don't vote against a candidate, you vote for one.

Are there credible candidates that aren't part of the same system that you could vote for, that don't come associated with some other baggage that might make them toxic to large numbers of votes?

> You don't vote against a candidate, you vote for one.

Which is a shame. Always seemed much better and more popular election scheme would be to vote against the one candidate you couldnt stand.

Maybe you should get one upvote and one downvote per election.

Exactly. That's why I don't think we're there yet.

Nobody has found an outlet for all of this frustration that's capable of creating change just yet.
