No matter how much we miss our childhood one reason why all children look forward to growing up is because they presume that in the adult world everyone is free to do what they like. this lure for freedom attracts even the most cared for and pampered child. so what happens when we finally grow up and realise that the freedom for which we undervalued the best part of our lives is getting more and more elusive? we feel frustrated and angry and clamped down and we want to break out...because when we are children we at least have the comfort of knowing that those restricting our freedom know better. but as grown ups when we are told by people who we voted into power that we can no more express, share, bond and communicate with our own free will, then we no longer feel cared for. we feel violated, compromised and robbed of the core reward that growing up was supposed to bring. For expressing a desire to censor internet or any other audio visual content the government must be dealt with in exactly the same manner as those who try to violate the rules of a 'free' market economy. That is use the power of numbers to monopolize the thought that free individuals in a free society have also toiled hard to get the freedom of expression they are laying claims to. it has come after years of accumulating an understanding of the functioning of the world and no one, least of all the state, outside the individual has a right to judge the correctness of.
