If any of you watch the Bill Moyers Journal, there was a great interview with a retired colonel (name skips my mind, but I know it started with a "B" and sounded Russian) pertaining to where we are as a country at the moment, where we used to be, and where we're going to end up unless we quit being idiots on both the world stage and at home. Interesting skim on PBS's site (the intro to this guy's book) if you wish to read it. It was his (Moyers') most recent interview.

That was an excellent show. I too cant remember the name of the guy - but his message stuck with me.
This type of censorship is why most of us stopped going to the Traxxas forum.
The best type of censorship is self imposed ("it take a village to raise a child") where as a group you have a common goal, wether it be language, porn, or anything else, as long as the common goal among the members is the same, the people that dont want to conform will move on.
I do agree that some things are way too liberal - prime time TV has some things that most kids under 12 dont need to be watching - but my kids are all grown up, so what do I care, right?!?!?
