Will SOPA and PIPA ensure the government will have total control of all mass media?
The government needs to prevent us from seeing what they are doing and total media control is to the benefit of a tyrannical government, because they need to control what is news thats fit to print.
Since the government controls all of mainstream-media in the United States and the internet is the last place we can go to find what isnt reported, will SOPA and Pipa ensure that the government has total control of what we are allowed to read and think?
Answer: That's what they are trying to do. Read about Cass Sunstein (sp?) obamas information czar. He wants to stop the people from questioning anything.

does anyone play the erhu or the PIPA?
i want to explore some non-traditional musical instruments, what types do you recommend for soothing sounds...where can i find them?
Answer: traditional chinese music instruments:
erhu
Pipa
yang qin
gu zhen
gaohu
banhu
and many others
I -myself- learn erhu, coz I luv its mellow tunes..
but in the place I learn music, most students play gu zhen coz it's easier.
String instruments like erhu, just like violin, will give u bad sound when u first play it. But, with time goes by, the sound improves. (Youtube has many video music for erhu and guzhen)
But with instrument like Pipa or gu zhen u will get go0d sound even if u play it for 1st time
Erhu knowns in many movie (chinese movie or martial art movie).
Check out 12 girls band for ur sound reference. Or try to open this link http://eason.com.sg/products/products_new.jsp just for u to see the pictures of those instruments or to hear example of the sound instruments
