It's not even really censorship in the common use of the word, though. It's much more deeply ingrained than someone deciding what you can and cannot write or think.

I would hope that my words DO disturb the peace of these cow eyed yuppies who want to make everything so safe and predictable.
B.K., don't you understand that if everyone is compliant and subdued and unindividualistic, the world will be better and happier for everyone? Don't you see that those who refuse to homogenize must be eliminated?
