Methinks-eth you doth not know what gullible means. :P
Most of the 21,000 bills don't have the strong lobbying arm of the RIAA, MPAA, and BSA [Business Software Association], responsible for all the recent laws regarding copyright, and changes to copyright itself [which is a big piece of this bill], when in that realm, you can expect it is far more likely to pass given the lobby strength.

--- Quote from: Doctor Who on November 16, 2011, 09:43:03 PM ---So there has been a S.O.P.A news flowing around even Wikipedia, this Stop.Online.Privacy.Act passed by a Representative, Lamar Smith, bipartisan group, and even 12 initial co-sponsors. There's also another act being passed along with it called Protect IP Act which this calls for protecting users ip stalking, jobs, bank accounts, and etc. Right now, Google, Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, and Yahoo is in serious crisis of being shut down by this Legislative Act.
List of things that could be removed:
Search Engines
Music sites
Movies
Torrent sites
Domain Names
Games such as valve, EA, Rockstar, and etc
Chatting sites - RND, omegle, tumblr and more
