We'll have to wait a little bit to see how accurate this article is. But basically, CISPA failing to pass through the senate doesn't mean much when much of what makes CISPA what it is has been authorized separately by the Obama administration a while back. So CISPA is actually just a legislative backup for what the U.S. government has been already doing secretly and illegally.

Interesting indeed. I remember seeing such a notice when I was paying my government student loan online. It said that anything I do inside the system would be monitored and that it would apply to all government based networks.
Didn't think much of it at the time but didn't mind it as I had nothing to hide within their system when all I was doing was making loan payments. If you work in a government facility, common sense tells you that you'll be monitored.
It's when you are monitored all the time from your home computer that it becomes a big problem I believe.

I have never and probably will never take CISPA seriously

The stuff you see in public is mostly a game politicians are playing with you--a game of perception, public opinion, popularity, political branding/marketing, whatever you wanna call it. Most of them know that the provisions CISPA and its like would provide are necessary and as such it'll get done one way or the other. I haven't even read that article, although it's something I knew already, and it's pretty funny if you put it that way: Obama repeatedly threatened to veto CISPA, yet he has implemented similar provisions himself, except in a more covert manner.

They would be wondering why black people are regarded as humans.

The idle screen on postal computers here tells you that all activity in monitored, all unauthorized use is subject to a fine.
