Several members of my family have been raped and at least one was the victim
of child molestation.  I am *still* on a ``god dammned [sic] "censorship is
bad" high horse'' and am (very mildly) offended by Mr. Welty apparent
attitude.

Rape is *very* bad.  Child molestation is *very* bad.  Censorship is much,
much worse than either.  Its range of its effects is much larger, both in
terms of the number of people which it affects and in terms of the length of
time over which it has an effect.

Can anyone offer a figure as to the percentage of the GNU Emacs distribution
that sex.1 represents?  I would guess that it is *extremely* small, i.e.
negligible.
