Scythe,

It is being shut down by the owner to make a protest about the US governments proposed communications bills. . It's going to be down 24 hours only.

The bills are rapidly losing support from even the dimmest bulbs in the US government

Thanks to The Patriot Act, those bills can be reinterpreted by the president as he sees fit.

It's one of those things that would be on a time line, like the one for the Jews living in Germany before WW2. Passports stamped. Seperate schools, business right removed, ghettos, death camps, WW2. It'll be a turning point if it does happen though.

another small erosion of rights and civil liberties. In former times they burned books, in our time the WWW is our library, so now they want to burn our virtual books.
