This statement served to negate what up until then I had considered an excelllent posting! Censorship in any form is unacceptable to the thinking individual and smacks of fear and the need to control. I agree with the parallels drawn to South Africa, but this last line totally lost me. I am an American, who spent years living in Toronto. While Canada is no Utopia, I assure you they see a lot less of government intervention than we do. Their news isn't censored to give an unbelievable pro-American slant on all international issues, and their bureaucracy serves, not rules. I fail completely to understand the relevancy of this statement, which may constitute me a member of Einstein's "majority of the stupid", if so I'd appreciate having explained what I obviously missed. ******************************************************************************** Despite what you think, a lobotomy would serve no useful purpose! ********************************************************************************
