I miss when we justified censorship with the fact that children might see something. At least that actually happened instead of being a fantasy.

George Carlin, whom I highly respect, has a fantastic bit on "saving the children". It's more like a child fetish and it isn't healthy.

So, you're saying: "At least a nuke went off?" or that a nuke going off is a fantasy? You know that plenty have gone off, and a few killed a lot of people, right?

I don't have any big problem with nuclear power, but I don't want to see a nuke go off.

"If people have the freedom to share bad ideas, surely that is a slippery slope to having the freedom to kill people with nuclear bombs" is a fantasy.
