Thanks!
In case anyone was wondering what kind of stuff I post on Facebook, to appear in the feeds of family and high school buddies in between Instagrammed lunches and jogging accomplishments and Downton Abbey complaints, here's something I happened to post this morning, somewhat related to that Kripal extract:
"This Week in Unnecessary Censorship" is such a brilliant gag. How many social and religious taboos amount to a persistent, needless bleep-press, i.e., "This Millenium in Unnecessary Censorship"? A bleep can transform the natural, the innocuous, the irrelevant, and even the holy into obscenities, where there once was none. Bleeping is so often COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE, multiplying the sum of obscenity, not subtracting any.
