Interesting response. I wasn't trying to be political
(thus why I didn't identify Armey by party or state).
But I went to Armey because, at one time, he was having
problems with censorware blindly blocking him. (Apparently
it's been fixed, which is a good thing--it seems that
some software had a big problem with all sorts of things.)
Censorship is an interesting issue precisely because it
crosses political lines and doesn't pay heed to any "liberal/
conservative" divide.
But enough of that. This is .fun! Politics, blah. :)

Nah. No .debate or pointedness intended, just chuckling
at some of the foibles of censorware, when implemented
as though it's a magical cure. As with all things, one
must read the instructions before consuming. :)
