For good measure, you could do it anyway, to be on the safe side. That's not necessarily a bad option.

Well, if there are any new signs of censorship in Australia, then of course you should write to elected reps / senators / whoever gets voted for in territories, states, and federal parliaments to oppose that.

Another instance of a company trying to do something and that something being twisted against them.

""This year, I came into my school library and there are rows and rows of empty shelves with absolutely no books," said Takata, who started Grade 10 last week.

She estimates more than 50 per cent of her school's library books are gone.

In the spring, Takata says students were told by staff that "if the shelves look emptier right now it's because we have to remove all books [published] prior to 2008." "

"Dianne Lawson, a member of Libraries not Landfills, says teachers told her The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank and The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle were removed from their school libraries as part of the PDSB weeding process."

"When it comes to disposing of the books that are weeded, the board documents say the resources are "causing harm," either as a health hazard because of the condition of the book or because "they are not inclusive, culturally responsive, relevant or accurate.""

Reading posts from random sex scientists shows just how messed up some nuts can be in the United States.

One had to have an armed bodyguard at a conference because he dared to say that minors viewing porn is probably not a big deal.

One is posting about pizzas being mailed in the middle of the night to her.

One scrubbed her personal info because strange people keep stalking her.

These conspiracy theorists are actually kind of dangerous.

They will harass random people because they believe some dramatic nonsense that everyone is out to get them.

And when they talk to them, they will have takes as if they live in a parallel universe.

Conspiracy theorists see conspiracies everywhere.

If someone does something stupid or bizarre, they go looking for a "deeper meaning".
