Of course, don't forget that the govt of the USSR (and its  slave
states)   does  the  same  thing.    Their  populations  are,  if
anything, more blinkered by their  governments  than  we  are  by
ours.

An interesting reply from khayo@sonia...

Of course, the voice of nicaragua IS jammed, by  our  government,
and  has  been  jammed  for  the  past few years.  No, I couldn't
imagine why.

I  wouldn't  want  to  offend  anyone  by  mentioning  the  state
department  response  to  the threat of films from Canada on acid
rain.  That would be embarrassing.

Naturally it would be rude to mention that we aren't  allowed  to
travel  to  Cuba.   That's OK, Cubans aren't allowed to travel to
this country, either.
