Hi Tom, as you were just saying about Censorship....
TR>  TC> I begin to think that your scope is a bit too narrow...  Let me try
TR>  TC> to widen  it some.  Think of construction, mining, military,
TR>  TC> police, medical (yes, medical), transportation, etc. Think if we had
TR>  TC> no knowledge of explosives at all. Shall we take it to the extreme?
TR> 
TR> Knowledge of explosives in these areas is already available with
TR> no problems. I have no problem with "a need to know basis". What I
TR> would have a problem with is information being made available to the
TR> general public "without a need to know." This is what we were really
TR> talking about. 
Who makes that distinction?  You?  Me?   How about the farm boy who
learns from his father how to blow stumps with ANFO?  The only
difference between a stump and OKC is the amount.
