    It doesn't matter if it's information that YOU don't want to be easily accessible, information that the religious right doesn't want to be easily accessible, information that the U.S. government doesn't want to be easily available, or information the the Canadian government doesn't want to be easily available. Censorship is censorship is censorship is censorship. You can say you like it, but at least have the guts and the honesty to call it what it is.
