Summary: People have forgotten their history again...


In the 19th century, the Post Office refused to mail a number of
feminist writings, because their graphic descriptions of sexual abuse
and violence against women was deemed "obscene."

Things are a lot better now, so much so that some people on the net
think that censorship decisions would be made in a way that THEY
approve of.

How slowly we learn, and how quickly we forget...
