I'm sure mailing lists exist for discussion of censorship. I can't
see that this is any more relevant to anthro-l than it would be to,
say, astrophysics-l. Yes, censorship is important -- but *nothing*
warrants spamming mailing lists. Take it to alt.censorship or to a
censorship list.

How often have the US armed forces been involved in combat as a
result of freedom of speech issues? I can't think of a
*single* example. Besides, these are the same armed forces that took
lead role in the dispossession of the Native American peoples, no?
As I've remarked before, I find your military/patriotic streak very
incongruous.
