I was responding to this, because you seemed to be saying Imus shouldn't have been fired as a result of offending a lot of people, because firing him was a step on 'the path to "book burning"'.

I think it was that whole brainwashing thing I quoted that made me think you believed offending a large number of people wasn't a good enough reason to be fired. If I misunderstood, and if you were NOT saying his firing had anything - precursor or otherwise -to do with government censorship, I apologize.
