In Small Town, 'Grease' Ignites a Culture War - New York Times

Who gets to decide what is appropriate? People just don't seem to be able to think ahead, ever. We agree to the suspension of civil liberties and to censorship with the idea that it's the other guy's speech that will be limited or that we will be the censors.

We think "why would the government want to tap my phone? I'm not a terrorist?" and allow them to move forward.

But we live in an evolving society in which there is heterogeny of viewpoints, moral philosophies, political leanings, or ethnicity. What happens when the censors/speech restrictors/wiretappers don't share our viewpoint? Would the conservatives in our country be so comfortable with wiretapping (sans warrant) if Al Gore was the executive running the program?

I can just see a small town in the midwest having a population shift towards naturalized middle easterners and choosing to ban a play about King Arthur because of the way the crusaders ravaged the cities of the Ottomans that they went through.
