I've noticed that TV seems to actually censor drug use. Not just the ugly effects, but talking about it. I don't have any idea why though. I mean, kids have just about everything about drugs pounded into their brains from kindergarden these days, so what possible reason would they have to censor it? I'm not talking in the sense of "oh they shouldn't worry about censoring violence", I'm talking in the sense that censoring this is like censoring someone stealing a magnifying glass from DD.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
