Move on, but never forget
I commend ESPN for running this video 60 years after WWII/the Holocaust, just hours before the Eurocup finals in Viena, Austria (Spain vs. Germany). While we need to move on from what happened in Germany and Europe, we should not forget.

Censorship in our backyard
We all know, and come to expect, that 3rd world countries and emerging countries tend to still have censorship issues because the government is scared of free information. But what happens when we find out that censorship is taking place in our own backyards, ala Boston.
Boing Boing was banned when a controversial post with a “banned phrase” had hit the main page of the site. Apparently once this post scrolls off the page the site will become live once again.
I understand this is a free-public WiFi area and p0rn and other sites may be banned but should one phrase really block a page of “wonderful things”. The internet equals freedom of information, if you are going to censor it then take it away completely, don’t just allow the content you approve of. Alright governor?
