And.... I would like to add that both religious and political commentary has
been allowed, unchallenged, on Histonet in the past, and quite properly so.
There is now a distinct possibility of a major international conflict.  For
instance, Iran, just yesterday, issued a challenge to the US by announcing
it also has a nuclear program.  The military consequences of this is a
threat to all of us, Histonetters included.

Correspondence to Histonet should not be censored simply because someone
does not agree with the opinion expressed.  If someone does not agree with a
posting, then respond with insight, not with a call for censorship. Remember
that freedom of the press is guaranteed, and Histonet is part of a free
press.
