Actually, that bit brought this entire thing into focus for me.

All those congresspeople were simply regurgitating, verbatim, what lobbyists from the MPAA were whispering in their ears right before any of that televised coverage. "these are just a bunch of angry nerds"...

I now understand that this is what most, if not all congresspeople do on any issue brought before them.

We have to get more involved in the political process, people.

Our country is being run into the ground by self-serving, self-obsessed sociopaths without the humility or brainpower to even do the tiniest bit of their own research on the topics that are guiding this country.
