Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to find out what any highly controversial bill actually says, read it.

If you want to protest the content of a bill, then make sure you know what's actually in the bill first. By reading it.

Yes, I am aware that legalese is a terrifying language. It is, it really is. But it is because legalese is such a terrifying language that not everyone who says they've read the bill will actually be able to tell you straight out what the bill actually says.

Which is why, if you want to know what a bill says, you need to read it for yourself.

If you need an explanation of anything in said bill, don't be afraid to ask for one. But what matters is that you fact-check what people say about said bill, before you protest it.

Doesn't matter what kind of bill it is -- whether it's about one group or another, or if it's SOPA, or if it's anything else. Don't protest something you don't understand.

And speaking of Bills, I'm currently drawing the panels for the next comic in The Gatekeepers, and I'm discovering that Misty isn't really as hard to draw as I thought she would be, now that I've figured out how her hair works. Just FYI.

Thank you, and God bless you all.

I'll freely admit I'm guilty of not following this rule before. Seems like a pretty good one to keep in mind though. It's very easy to jump to conclusions, a bit harder to take the time to actually know what you're talking about, but it's definitely worth doing.
