To Censure, or not to Censure? </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#3333cc></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#3333cc>Are those "really"&nbsp;the questions that are on our minds?</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#3333cc></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#3333cc>Actually, this is but another example of why I "love this list". So many great minds, so many different outlooks. And the fact that we can all freely express our opinions. Think about it! Pretty great isn't it?</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#3333cc></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#3333cc>Do I think it's right to post porn to this list? No. But do I think you have the right to post it if you so desire? Yes.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#3333cc></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#3333cc>Is it apropriate? Nope. But, bad manners are just that, bad manners. Nothing more, nothing less.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#3333cc></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#3333cc>Personally, I see humor in the fact that so many of us "free thinkers" are so intollerant of others. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#3333cc></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#3333cc>Censureship, is wrong. I don't care what banner we wave while we're advocating it. It's wrong. For if allowed, sooner or later each and everyone of us will, be censured.&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#3333cc></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#3333cc>Our founding fathers showed&nbsp;great wisdom with the "First" Amendment, and remember it was the first amendment.
