Yeah, because that's what I said. By the Gods, have you been listening to
Platt? Furthermore, a "democracy" is nothing that it is carved in stone
tablets how it should work, but one could argue that if a decision is taken,
democratically, for example that censorship should be instituted. Why, the
that is a democratic decision. It's a paradox, I know, and from a MOQ
perspective one can argue that censorship would strangle intellectual
development, but one can also argue that censorship may be necessary so as
to keep society stable - for a solid base for the intellectual level to rest
on.
One last thing. In many democratic countries it is forbidden to express
certain political agendas (Nazi stuff etc) - a censorship, for the good of
the people.
