We free speech types don't like it when people don't get to speak on campuses, no matter what their views. You have to go to the Thottam Left to find people who support the kind of mau-mauing that conservatives are doing to CBS.

So moving it to another network is censorship? Does that make putting a book in another part of the library bookburning?
It's not censorship -- we're not talking about any kind of state action here. We're just taking about private action designed to suppress speech because you don't agree with its content.

By the way, Ty. What does the minister of "Potsage" do? Sounds like a dope-smoking hippy job to me...
Nothing to do with pot, and everything to do with Thurn & Taxis and the Tristero. Read The Crying of Lot 49 -- it's a Pynchon reference.
