I'm too drunkern to dispute this, but still, it's a pretty thin distinction between "government" and "societal acceptance" imo.

It really bothers me how people get all hyperbolicly uptight about comparisons.

"Are you comparing the civil right movement to pirate bay?" >

"Are you comparing american soldiers to nazis?" >

Do you think that the civil rights movement and downloading Living Things is analogous?
