h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well folks, another day another rant. This time I think I'll take an opportunity to address the social travesty known as censorship. The dictionary defines a censor as, "one appointed to examine books, plays newspaper articles, etc. before publication, and ban them if containing anything objectionable..." Therefore censoring is the act of not allowing the general public to decide for themselves what is or is not objectionable. Censoring is the act of a governing system once again telling the governed that they are not capable of determing what they should or should not see or hear. Censorship is an insidious evil that allows the governing systems to control the flow of information and ideas. It is one of the first steps to totalitarianism. If you can control what people see and hear, you can eventually control what they think. Hand-in-hand with censorship goes propaganda. Propaganda is defined by the dictionary as, "the spreading and continuing of doctrines and priciples..." And again you must ask who establishes the doctrine, the people or the governing system? So good people, today I ask you to stand with me in telling the governing systems of the world to let us think for ourselves. Let us decide for ourselves what is or is not objectionable. Stand with me folks in telling the governing systems to take thier censorship and shove it up their collective A***S!
