Was the title RIOT ACT inspired by the patRIOT ACT?

This might have been obvious when it came out, but I just realized it a few weeks ago.

    Riot Act (the entire album - most songs) to me is layered and has many meanings.
    all true. (like all pearl jam music)
    we don't want war, but we still want more?

    Pearl Jam are actually a band of prophets. RIOT ACT is a reference to the QUIET RIOT ACT of 2010, where President Clinton insists that NO MUSIC should EVER BE TURNED UP to a volume past 3.

    It'll happen, man! You watch!

    You are mistaken. The great PAT RIOTS of 2008 will occur right after the Super Bowl when the heavily favored New England "PAT RIOTS" fall to the lowly New York Giants. New Englanders will be so upset that they take to the streets, overturning caas and dumping clam chowder on everything.
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    it was aloso close to being called set it down, or transmission also i think? I have the file at home about when they were naming it...
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    I believed they named it RIOT ACT as that is what they were expecting both their fans and critics to read them after they released that shiat.

    Hell it took some of us a while to figure out Santos L. Harper is Santa's Little Helper from the Simpson's, not all that is in front of your face can be seen.

    Santos L. Halper is the name on the credit card that is mistakenly sent to Santa's Little Helper.
    everybody wants the most they can possibly get
