hillary clinton decided to give at the hague just last week now lastly i kind of like this idea of wikipedia saying that they might just blank out all of their encyclopedia pages and think about it they probably use that a lot on the hill when it comes to writing legislation so you think they're going to go for you like it you know i think it's actually really incredible to see some of these flexing their muscle and you know in a way that is actually pretty new that they haven't done as aggressively before looks like wikipedia users so far overwhelmingly in favor of this kind of protest move tumbler just a couple weeks ago got something like eighty seven thousand of its users to jam the phones of congress you know if we ever see facebook decide to do the same thing i would i would dread anyone who's manning the phones in a congressional office that day ok so basically you have the entire tech world screaming at congress right now telling them not to do it and you know i don't know maybe this isn't right for me to say but i always say that you know sometimes maybe these older congressman just
