    Hi all,

    Here I agree with Platt, and his good friend Chomsky. :-)

    Hi All:

    Is DMB suggesting that Horse censor "dangerous ideas" from this site?
    Perhaps a few cautions are in order:

    "Censorship always protects and perpetuates every horror of the
    prevailing forms of oppression. With us, its subtle disguises
    increase
    its evils by creating delusions of safety, liberty and democracy. It
    precludes that intelligence which is necessary to hasten wholesome
    and
    natural social evolution." -- Theodore Schroeder

    "Thus if the First Amendment means anything in this field, it must
    allow protests even against the moral code that the standard of the
    day sets for the community. In other words, literature should not be
    suppressed merely because it offends the moral code of the censor." --

    William O. Douglas

    "If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise,
    we don't believe in it at all." -- Noam Chomsky

    Best,
    Platt
