The government of Australia has annouced it will begin filtering internet usage:

They are tired of people accessing illegal content, with the rational idea, that if it is illegal to be seen in our cinema's, then it should not be seen anywhere. Wow, what an concept. Think of all the stuff you can ban. Sex certainly, but also small internet 'cult' movements, sites that advocate violence against BAU cultural groups, minority rights advocates, political cartoonists; the list is really endless.
As someone who has minority opinions, I am often dismissed as a 'Troll'- (even on this site). Even I could be censored for 'Thinking outside of the box'. Many people do like the articles I write and the points I make, but it takes courage to agree with someone outside of the limitations of 'The powers that be'. Courage these days is very rare.
I miss MOS6507 on this site, he had the courage to respond to my posts, even if he didn't agree with them. Woe to those who choose to ignore people with 'alternate' viewpoints, brand them as 'trolls' and continue with 'thinking inside the box'.
If I could include a song to my posts, both here and elsewhere, it would be to the tune of 'Its not easy being green' by Kermit the frog, with the modification 'Its not easy being a troll', in my case.
Repent
