    Umm. Not saying you're wrong. But I don't think we're looking at the same text,
    somehow. How is it that you have any _facts_ to support that this is an "evil
    emanating from the government"? Kindly enumerate them for me, 'cause I sure
    don't see them.

    I see an allegation... of a claim... that there is an alternative... to some
    hypothetical.

    I don't doubt that some well-meaning, creepy pol might go for censorship at some
    point. But at the mement, what I see is groupthink. Call it timid, or whatever.
