If we want to pump tax dollars into institutions, maybe it could be educational or medical institutions?
Instead of incarcerating petty criminals at 100k a toss, maybe some of the cash they want to spend for superjails might be better spent on combating child poverty …. ?

The US Congress is considering America’s first system for censoring the Internet. Despite public outcry, the Internet Censorship bill could pass at any time. If it does, the Internet and free speech will never be the same:
Website Blocking
If SOPA or Protect IP passes, the government can order internet providers to block any site for its users’ infringing posts, using the same DNS-blocking methods as China or Iran.
Risk of Jail for Ordinary Users
It becomes a felony with a potential 5 year sentence to stream a copyrighted work that would cost more than $2,500 to license, even if you are an ordinary noncommercial user. Singing a pop song on Facebook could be a felony.
Chaos for the Internet
Thousands of sites that are legal under the DMCA would face new legal threats. People trying to keep the internet more secure wouldn’t be able to rely on the integrity of the DNS system.
“plays fast & loose with important notions of due process”
Americancensorship.org is asking everyone to sign up to call the Senate on Tuesday in order to protest PIPA. This is just as bad as SOPA, and they’re trying to force it through by labeling it as a jobs bill, which it absolutely is not.
You can also sign up on Stopcensorship.org to have Senator Wyden read your name during his filibuster.
Please consider both signing up and calling! Tumblr, and the entire internet itself is at risk if either of these horrible, unconstitutional bills pass.
If you like the Internet DO THIS.
I have reason to believe my Canadian blogs are being blocked for daring to carry the blackout code with the link to americancensorship.org
Harsh new jumble of “tough-on-crime” laws will more likely increase crime

#OccupyToronto rally with the #OFL THURSDAY.
March from St. James Park at 11am
Meet at city hall at 11:45 am #Toronto
I knew this was going to be a bad year for NaNoWriMo because G20 activist Byron Sonne was coming to trial, and the Canadian DMCA Bill-C11 will most likely be passed by the Canadian government because they have a majority government so they can to appease President Bush… oops, it’s Obama now… #samesame … and now there is also #OccupyCanada and #SOPA …
Making matters much worse, I’ve kind of figured out Tumblr !
Still and all, I’m a self publishing novelist and I have work to do, so I have to go offline for a bit and write.
So I’d appreciate it if you’d keep an eye on civil rights and the Internet while I’m at work.
Thanks.

Will “American Censorship” impact on Canada?
Of course it will!
Just thirteen days ago I was eight months pregnant.
Everyone loved rubbing my belly.
I even wore my “Baby On Board” shirt over my gigantic stomach.
Peaceful protests aren’t supposed to get violent. When our government was making sweeping cuts to social programs, my sister & I took our toddlers to a peaceful protest at City Hall. Before it started, we scouted escape routes, and made sure to stay at the edge of the crowd so we could access it if needed. It was fine, there were no problems.
When I was pregnant, in my first trimester, I recall feeling a bit weird, and tiring easily, but feeling stupid about it because I didn’t look noticeably different. So you live your life pretty much as you always did.
So, why would *anyone* go to a protest? People don’t protest for fun; it is not a recreational activity. People protest in hopes the protest will address problems they feel needs to be fixed.
“I was standing in the middle of the crowd when the police started moving in,” she says. “I was screaming, ‘I am pregnant, I am pregnant. Let me through. I am trying to get out.’” At that point, Fox continues, a Seattle police officer lifted his foot and it hit her in the stomach, and another officer pushed his bicycle into the crowd, again hitting Fox in the stomach. “Right before I turned, both cops lifted their pepper spray and sprayed me. My eyes puffed up and my eyes swelled shut,” she says.

Why would police react in this way?
I don’t know, but possibilities spring to mind:
Parenthood changes everything, even before the baby is born.
