Have you ever thought about reconsidering your opposition to censorship? A case can be made that the people, who are the property of the government, depend on that government to choose what they should have access to. After all, individual people can be quite foolish, and need the guiding hand of a benevolent government to help them make the right choices. This may well include restricting access to the wrong choices. We live in an increasingly interdependent world, and perhaps we can't afford to have a bunch of individualists making decisions for themselves. After all, our tax money goes to support these people, so we should get the maximum benefit from them, by encouraging them to be productive consumers of the status quo.
