Again, Aw No Fun. Fooey.

How are we supposed to get back into the space race now? We closed down NASA. The throwing of chimps into space with a Trebuchet was out last option.
Look past the lies, and all the scary stuff that remains is the truth.

It's SF doing what it does best:  getting people to think and warning them of the consequences of their actions.
Too bad it doesn't seem politicos read Sci-Fi.   :'(

Nor do the masses of Sheeple.

Oh they read it, then just discard it because it bothers them.

Well, both SOPA and PIPA have been postponed indefinitely. I'm sure they're already working on something similar that they're going to sell as different but these two bills seems to be dead.

Not until we've burned the bodies and spread the ashes across three countries.

Burn the bodies, sow the ashes with salt and then launch them into the sun.

Salt and lye. Can't forget the lye.

I've not been playing Shadowrun that long, but already I'm missing when I thought the fluff was pie in the sky.

"Corporate courts? Pssh. Where'd they think that up."
