I know it's long. That's why I haven't read it;I don't have time to go throuingh the bills, so the only way to know what they are about would be to read somebody else's "breakdown" it; and I'm not about to base my standpoint on a few possibly biassed cliff's notes/translations of what it says, since any such translation will easily be coloured by the "translators" agenda, and most of the time they aren't lawyers so they could hardly be expected to understand the legal boilerplate and often bring non-existent meaning to the boilerplate legalese you see all over the place.
Since I don't have the time to read the bills, I prefer to have no opinion at all rather than a uninformed one. That isn't to say that I trust the senators to make the right decision (assuming there is one), just that since I haven't read and interpreted the actual content myself, I don't know where I would stand on the issue. And I'd rather have my own opinion than somebody else's (which is pretty much what you would have if you "pick a side" based on a single persons transliterations). I might browse it idly though, come to think of it.
EDIT:
Also, and possibly equally important, since in the long run what I think about the bill and it's contents is redundant and won't matter, it seems wasteful to read that much content just to form one, especially since the subject doesn't interest me. I have no doubt it would affect me but whether I form an opinion now or then isn't going to change that effect. I also suspect that since I'm not in the U.S, much of the effects won't be felt. (the bill can't compel Canadian ISPs to block access to anything).
