That's like saying that watching the 7, 9 or 10 o'clock news would give
people the impression that NSW is just one long series of car accidents. Or
that walking down George street at 12 noon on Thursday you will get raped,
pillaged and suspended from the high court.  If we're going to sanitize
what people can read and write, let's start on you.  How about areafixing
yourself out of every echo except for COOKING, because I've never seen an
angry word in that echo yet!  [despite all my attempts at getting some good
flames up about why wog-food tastes like it was invented by wogs et al]. 
BFN.
