As a writer and as someone who served my country for seventeen years, I find any form of censorship repellent. Max, you are absolutely right. The onl;y way to avoid all the things that offend our sensibilities is to die. We don't have to use those words or sing those songs if we choose not to but let's not get into the habit of depriving others the right to do so if they wish. That is called totalitarianism. It starts with innocuous labeling by the way. Fortunately, most of us in Mudcat have common sense. I would say all of us but I haven't met everybody yet, have I? Have a great night and stay free!!, Neil
