Hi Todd, as you were just saying about Censorship....
TJ> -> I think that we need to punish the abusers of information, not the
TJ> -> producers of it.  If a book tells how to build a bomb and someone
TJ> -> does it, killing other people, the guilty party is the one who
TJ> -> abused the information by building the bomb and using it in an
TJ> -> illegal manner.
TJ> .

TJ> I agree, many people tend to place the blame in the wrong place.
TJ> Sure that  guy writing the bomb book may be wierd... but.. its his 
TJ> right by the constitution to free speech. Its the person  who did
TJ> the killing who is at fault. Just like something  similar that
TJ> happened.... if any of you are car  enthusiasts... you may know of
TJ> something called "Quick  Sliver" by Armor All, this stuff is REALLY
TJ> awsome stuff  used for cleaning car rims. The stuff is perfect, but 
TJ> obviously poisonous. But, some STUPID 7 year old drank a  whole
TJ> bottle of that stuff in Canada... so of course..  whose fault is it?
TJ> NOOOOOOOOOO its not the parents fault or  the childs fault.. its
TJ> Armor All's fault.. of course...  so  they no longer sell that
TJ> product because the woman sued.  Just like that Mc. Donalds thing...
TJ> stupid as S**T!!!! This  woman spilled hot coffee on herself in her
TJ> own car.. after  being away from Mikcy D's for about 4 minutes.. she
TJ> burned  herself and sued Mc. Donalds for 3 million dollars. What is 
TJ> this world comming to? 
No, she didn't.  She sued for medical recovery.  Probably would have
been about 200,000.  McDonald's got a hair up their butt and went to
court thinking that they had a slam dunk.  The jury awarded her those
damages, partially due to McDonald's attitude toward the common man.
