rHi Christopher, as you were just saying about Re: Censorship....

No it hasn't.

Not what we were talking about.

As will I under the right conditions.  That was not the point I said
above.
CC> Many police are in the group that  if you

CC> narrower, cause I have a feeling  it's not very well thought out.  
When you learn to read I will.  :^)  
No where did I say that using violence under your conditions defines a
terrrorist.  I stated that they "...believe[s] that violence or the
threat of that violence is the correct mode for settling differences or
accomplishing goals."  See the word "correct"?  That  means that it is
the *only* or the *first* method that they consider.  I believe that
you are trying to read something into what I wrote that just isn't
there.  Now I hope that your next response is better read and more
thought out.  :^)
CC> I
CC> know you probably  wouldn't consider many of these people
CC> terrorists, or so I  hope. 
I don't, but you should have figured that out by now.  :^)
