Seeing the “ABSOLUTE genius” of Wikipedia and Google + other sites I just haven’t bothered to remember combined to lead the people of the united states into standing up for ourselves in a way I never could have possibly imagined. Being that they made it so that we, maybe not you or everyone but whoever agreed to change the minds of the close to useless selection of dinosaurs running for president nowadays. Is there anyway to make those sites somehow our representatives of us? instead of a president? or at least a way to propose to them like an email address of whoever made the decision to make this move I can personally try to write to to express my gratefulnes and hope to convince them into doing this move again for whatever important reasons they feel needs to be addressed?. I mean they did what I feel the president should have done. This is how it aught to be we need a way to gather and represent and express without the risk of being the only one to make a fool of themselves and targeted for making a point or getting kicked and beaten and stomped for making a scene?. This may belong in great debates place it there if necessary, but I seriously would like any kind of email to the person who had most to do with that bold move so I can tell them what I think, maybe they’ll take the job.
I’m not aware of any specific “standing up” by the American people that can be specifically attributed to Wikipedia or Google and I honestly can’t quite figure out what the OP is talking out. If you want to write thank-you e-mails to the guys who run Wiki and Google, it can’t be difficult to find out who they are - I’m just not sure what you’d be thanking them for.
So you want a couple of websites to lead the nation? Am I reading this right?
That’s right but mean sorry. I’ll change my point of view.
If you’re talking about SOPA, all that happened was that websites acted exactly like every lobbyist in Washington. They applied pressure on Congress because they were going to be affected by a specific bill. You know what you call that every other day of the year? A special interest. I’ll bet you Romney’s $10,000 that you hate that when a special interest applies pressure for a bill you don’t favor. To use an old fashioned expression, it’s all about whose ox is gored.
And you want them to do more, even though you have no idea that firms like Google already hire hundreds of lobbyists pressuring Congress on hundreds of bills that affect them just like every other giant, multinational corporation. But because you agreed on one bill - and I bet you can’t explain to anyone exactly what the language in the bill was or what affect it would really have - you want them to represent you all the time. That’s jaw-dropping. But not in a good way.
Moved from General Questions to MPSIMS. The OP, in my opinion, wasn’t intelligible enough to go to Great Debates.

But the intelligibility bar is so low in MPSIMS? :dubious:
Oh wait, yes it is. 
Nevermind.
