Censorship is really value-ship

People who argue for censorship are befuddling. They want to control what is printed, said, written, etc. What they are really trying to do is push their point of view on to the reader. Instead of censoring what should be printed, said, written, etc. the time should be taken to educate. If people are educated, they will recognize for themselves what is good and worthy. And censorship will occur for themselves. Choose what they want to expose themselves to rather than having some other values doing it. In truth we need not censorship, but rather values. As to what set of values, another debate-worth point is raised. Perhaps at another time.
