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.
