SOPA is a threat to freedom of information (Also small channel update)

I've been buisy due to my hospitalization and near-death, however, I feel obligated as an American to inform my subscribers / viewers of the seriousness of the SOPA situation. Below are links to the three videos which I think, in my opinion, will explain the SOPA situation in the most full manner with the least time spent doing research. Please take the time to watch them.

What is SOPA? (21 minute video by Totalbiscuit) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhwuXNv8fJM

An opinion on how the SOPA argument should be addressed (By Totalbiscuit, I agree with him so it's pointless to make my own video saying the same thing - 11 minute video - this is probably the most important of the three) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HriNzsp89lM

Why SOPA is a useless peace of legislation and will not provide practical gain (just under a 4 minute video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7vDHIFPg2E


Below this is my video's cliffnotes:

The SOPA / PIPA bill commit a very specific sin. They restrict the free flow of information, and by proxy threaten the freedom of speech and the freedom of press. We have freedom of speech and freedom of press specifically so that we can have the free flow of information and can, as citizens, make our own decisions, rationalizations, and create an informed thought process by which to use for voting and the like. Restricting the free flow of information by mass censorship threatens these rights. An attack on the constitution like this cannot be tolerated. My fellow Americans, what would General Washington think if he were to look at this bill? Ben Franklin? Would they allow it to be passed? I think not. We are entering a new age. The age of the internet. There are many different people, all over the world, with different views in different nations. This can, in the long run, only promote understanding. What does it mean to be an American? We know it has nothing to do with where you were born. America was founded on principles. On values. Values of freedom, and those values are being assaulted. To me, anyone who stands against this bill and upholds the values of our founders is an American - regardless of what language they speak or what nation they were born in. We are all brothers and sisters when we share the yoke of tyranny. I encourage you to stand against this bill and spread the word. God Bless America.

do you mind if i ask what you were in the hospital for?

[belthazor3457]

@kk9260 My appendix ruptured, and due to abnormal symptoms, there was a misdiagnosis. This resulted in a 4 day delay between the rupture time and hospitalization. Typically, a human doesn't get to live through that, and I had to stay in the hospital to get the infections and such under control. I'll prolly explain it all in a later video.

@belthazor3457 How did they misdiagnose appendicitis ?

[belthazor3457]

@Arkains10 Abnormal symptoms. I didn't have a fever until after the rupture, for starters.
