While it's nice that opposition to SOPA is getting some traction, the passage of the 2012 NDAA slipped by with little fanfare. Criticism and debate of that legislation are moot now. though NDAA is not a technological issue of itself, sections 1021 and 1022 still diminish our civil liberties much more effectively.

I'm glad to see the knowledge-worker communities rallying around a topic peripheral to our basic freedoms, but I fear we've missed the boat on this one. Regrettably, pizza sauce in school lunches was not the only bit of smoke and mirrors foist upon us.
