Well, if being against censorship makes you an anti-semite, you might as well put my name down on the list of anti-semites as well. I happen to view anti-semitism as very evil. I think the solution to dealing with it is *educating* people, and letting the anti-semites make themselves look like the ignorant fucks that they are. The answer is *not* in some sort of "central editing" agency that removes all the anti-Semetic material from the net. (And, coincidentally, removes any evidence of their existence from the net, leading me to believe that there are no more anti-Semites! 1/2 :-) -- 'That's why our house has clay mirrors / So that I won't see my eyes in the morning.' -- Aquarium (an underground Russian band) J.
