Does anyone here remember the story "Usher II" from Ray Bradbury's "The Martian Chronicles"? In it someone builds a theme park (of some sort) based on the stories of Edgar Allan Poe and at the end of the story the Head of the Moral Climate Monitors is getting walled up alive, as in "The Cask of Amontillado" and the person who is doing the "walling up" is telling him that one of the reasons why he is doing it because the Moral Climate Monitors ban things not because they think that they are obscene, but because they HAVE HEARD that they are obscene.
I always think of that story whenever I hear of something like this.
I also think of the bit in "Men In Black" when Will Smith finds out that there are aliens on Earth. "Why not tell us", he asks Tommy Lee Jones, "People are smart." "No," Jones tells him, "Human Beings are smart. People are stupid."
