a handshake.

User Experience

1. User visits site for the first time.
2. Site displays a QR code.

How does blacking out a site help educate others what SOPA is and why it should be fought?
In my honest and humble opinion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOPA is our greatest weapon. Knowledge.
Many people, myself included, may have heard "SOPA", but never knew what it really meant. It is information
like that provided on Wikipedia which helps educate people so they can make knowledgeable discussions.
Without this knowledge we become blind and defenseless. If this blackout should accomplish anything, it will
turn off the lights and leave us wondering in the dark.

I recommend that Wikipedia and it's editors reconsider their action and choose the
more well lighted path to educating the people of SOPA. I suggest the landing page of wikipedia
be redirected to the SOPA wiki page. While I would prefer to keep all other pages online during this campaign to
