You mean it isn't? Well, that's a relief! *whew!*

Because if some dipshit in Iran is on the warpath about co-ed chatrooms, then I guess we can just sound the "all clear" here in the US of A.

And a good thing, too - I was getting worried there for a while ...

(And let's not even get into those Chinese bastards unbanning stuff. I mean, who the hell do those jackbooted goons think they are, anyway?)

What bothers me about these types of stories is that we used to hear this kind of stuff about the Communists.

Secret police that spied on everybody. Neighbors that would turn you in to the secret police. Being required to carry your papers with you at all times. Brainwashing the children practically from birth.

And then we became that.
