Somehow the pob-wotw challenge is always in the back of my mind. This past week I couldn't write anything until just yesterday. Then I remembered the word "censor" and the image of a Roman Censor popped into mind.

The senate elected two censors from any class of people. I thought, "What if two guys censored everyone and abused their powers? Wouldn't the same fate eventually meet them?" Instant karma. Then my imagination went nuts.

This is the true situation for some of my friends on Hive. It was their freedom of choice to publish material that others considered distasteful, but these guys really can't stop writing about what is on their mind. At the same time it is the freedom of choice for some large HP holders to downvote those users' articles. It's at the point now that they can't even publish a snicker without being wiped out.

For a laugh check out the Monty Python skit where Caesar punishes his guards for laughing when he says "Biggus Dickus". (I think that was the name of the 1985 Chicago Bears coach.) !LOL

Censorship has always disturbed me. It's not that these people cannot speak whatever they want. It's just that if they do speak whatever they want they will eventually lose their platform. The battle has been going on a long time. The Smothers Brother's show was censored for decades. What I see is that the more the true is oppressed the more powerful it grows.

I've just written a song about a tortilla.
Well, it is more of a rap really.
