I was born way back in 1986.
I'm an old man now.
BuT I remember how it used to be,
Any now my grandchildren ask me;

"Granddad," they say
"Can you tell us what it was like,
In the days of the Internet
You know, before SOPA"
And I'd tell them;

"When was that? Hmm, let me see.
Some time back in the early 21st century.
I remember when the Internet was free,
Behind my keyboard, people let me be."

See, there used to be a thing called Freedom of Speech.
We had freedom to teach each other, freedom to do science
Freedom to share culture and circulate ideas.
Without the state trying to interfere, enter fear.
