I still remember those fucking cages they built for the DNC. I think back to our feelings of extreme powerlessness during the Bush II years and can't help but feel that the present grassroots support for censorship is being fueled by some naive desire for comeuppance.

Alas it's not left xor right wing ideas that get censored, but really the anti-authoritarian ideas and attitude. Don't you know that all those radio stations were just nobly deciding to not broadcast Imagine?

Plus ça change.
