Who's censoring? There's a huge difference between criticizing comments by powerful people and censorship. Uh, I think there might even be some principle relating to the former that informs that little thingy we have, what's it called again honey, help me out here, I'm just a cavegirl, your laws frighten and confuse me, uh ... the First Amendment?
