In response, GoDaddy will now have various pictures of Danica Patrick at the top of all of their site's pages, urgently pleading people to register domains with them.

The caption would be:

If everyone reading this registered 5 domains with us, we could end the internet today. Please read a personal appeal. Please help.

Interesting thought, but as has been pointed out before, they don't actually care what happens to the internet. The Govt will fund a Govt only network (if they need it) and big media will finally not have to worry about people illegally downloading their "product" and can go back to charging 20 bucks for a CD and forcing television down everyone's throats.

Yet more proof of how little our representatives care about us eh?

Worse, because each of us have conformation bias, we'll tend to throw out the ten thousand images that don't confirm our bias, while clinging onto the one image that does as the grain of truth in the flood of lies.

With that statement in mind, how do you feel about about the pepper spraying incident at UC Davis?

Everything in the statement you make smells like absolute B.S.

They arrested the students immediately after they pepper sprayed them, so obviously it was their intent to use "physical interference". Further more, I'm not sure why you think it is acceptable to use pepper spray to disperse a peaceful crowd in the first place. If someone is breaking the law, you arrest them. If someone resists arrest, THEN physical force would be appropriate.

You make a very important point about how video bites don't always show exactly what happend, and can often appear to support the party who was actually in the wrong. However, this does not apply to this specific case.

Many videos that show the event start well before the actual pepper spraying occurs and continue well afterwards. Additionally, the students who were sprayed were simply sitting down, not resisting arrest. The students should have just been arrested, pepper spraying was totally unneeded.
