More on "Censorship"...

[zscoundrel]

You want a real eye opener, get a short wave radio set and poke around a 
bit.  It is amazing how similar and yet completely different the news 
stories are.

When you actually see what the rest of the world is seeing and hearing, 
it is surprising.

Even more interesting is what people learn in other countries.  The wife 
of one of one of my ham radio buddies is from Thailand and even though 
she is in her forties and had the standard amount of education, and 
speaks passable English, she had no clue that man had ever set foot on 
the moon!
