The only problem I see, Joe Offer, with selective censorship is that you give up First Amendment protections. When the new Gestapo starts nosing around, as you know they will someday, you can say 'First Amendment...freedom of speech...etc.'...IF you haven't selectively edited out bits and pieces. But if you've censored and edited for content, the new Gestapo will demand to know why you let a post like THIS ONE stand. See what I mean?

I'd quit posting my political stuff here in order to make your plight easier, but would it make any difference? Song lyrics are often political. When the First Amendment goes, we all do. So I admire y'all's tolerance and fortitude. And thanks for letting me speak my piece(s). I've self-applied a handle for future reference, by the way.
