That's something we both agree on wholeheartedly.  I don't trust the gov't 
because quite frankly they don't understand the people or our generation.  
The founding fathers didn't either, as you are also aware of.
I think that the only reasonm for censorship is clear and present immediate 
danger.  For example, the position of a U.S. soldier lost in enemy territory 
or plans to an atomic bomb (the latter of which can be found on the 
ternet.)
Peace.
