----------
Absolutely correct.  Most of the people who would censor things are
taking the position that the rest of the world is incapable of making
an informed decision on what to read.  That's blatantly paternalistic.
If there are people who will have an antisocial response to some
particular kind of material, fix them, they're broken.

----------
Note that it should be illegal to MAKE such things but it should
not be illegal to sell or possess them.
