Changed line 35 from:

"Be afraid, folks...be very afraid- but be vigilant, and read every page created by these organizations- dig deep. They are wolves in sheeps' clothing. Their rabid desire to save potential souls from Satan's clutches eclipses any true compassion for the woman who happens to be bearing it. If that isn't totally twisted, I don't know what is. Compassion should never have any strings attached. If it does, it ceases to be genuine compassion, and is instead bald manipulaton and coercion of emotionally vulnerable people. What would Christ, who preached compassion for all regardless of their transgression, say about that, I wonder..." - Sunfell, 10 August 2003

Changed lines 33-35 from:

"Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... [sic] censorship. When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything —you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." - John Lyle in Revolt in 2100 by Robert A. Heinlein
