In recent moths we've regularly seen comments,
articles and complaints about the way Highschools (and the USA in general) reacted to the Highschool shootings.
One of the more shocking reactions to this was the hysteria that followed, restricting freedom of speech and even the way people dressed.
After reading the article on Australia's internet censorship and seeing things like Gothic, piercing, tattoo, heroine, etc. being banned, doesn't this produce the same results:
The deliberate suppression (oppression?) of minorities' opinions, ideas and expression of (their) culture?
Maybe Australian government should fund some re-education programs for the 'morally misguided'... (geeks, nerds, goths, maybe even jews, aboriginees, or anybody whose bloodlines cannot be traced back to the original 'colonists')
