Ever seen the Movie Equilibrium? Its loosely based on Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Killer fucking movie where everone takes a drug to stop their emotions and bows down to some religous figurehead. In the movie they have clerics who eradicate "sense offenders" or people who choose to feel or hold on to things that could insight feeling. Now Huxley wrote that book in 1932. With WWI our dreams of an ever evolving society on the path to perfection were shattered. They can point the finger all they want. Whether the blame is on horror movies, music, or games its all a last ditch effort to stop a society that continuously changing. Change isnt so bad its that the people in charge have little or no control over the changes younger people make. Its always been so. The trend in the past hundred years has been away from censorship. Shit in the 20's flappers were considered risque. The more people try to censor the bigger the rise others get from breaking rules. Mass-Censorship will never work. If it comes to the slaughter of those who break the rules well shit ill be one of the first to go. As Patrick Henry said when they were forming the United States "GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH."
