Mike Godwin's Anti-Censorship Speech - Post 1

Here is Mike Godwin's Anti-Censorship speech that he delivered at Carnegie-Mellon (CMU) back in 1994.  While Godwin's speech doesn't exactly pertain to my topic on censorship in film, Godwin put s the mind-set of those in seats of authority into focus. As someone who has routinely produces written and video content, I find the stifling of creative thought to be beyond comprehensible thought...basically, I think it's dumb! Seriously, the decision to censor someone or something is like being that little kid who takes his ball home after he gets made fun of...

"They wanted you to remember the meaning of the Periodic Table, but they
wanted you to forget that the chemistry between lovers is one of the most
beautiful things we know.

They wanted you to remember the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, but they
hoped you forget that the fundamental fact of human sexuality shapes our
entire existence."

I believe that the method of thinking exhibited by the administrators of Carnegie-Mellon in the mid 90s is a good representation of the mindset of those that would attempt to censor a film.
