​On Censorship and Chisels

​Wild Tongue vol 2
"According to Oxford Dictionaries, censorship is the suppression or prohibition of books or films that are seen as obscene, politically unacceptable or a threat to security as deemed by an authority. Usually this is made in the interest of balancing two political opinions. Those deemed to be harmful are referred to as being politically incorrect, a term used to describe measures taken to avoid offense or disadvantages to members of certain groups in society. Silencing is more insidious - it is the prohibition of speaking altogether."​
