Insect wiring - language -> censorship...

When will this entirely way too priggish society we live in get over itself already? One of the most enlightening moments I've had in recent years was when Hans Franke was visiting a few years back. We were watching some show on TV (probably on Comedy Central) where some swear words were bleeped out. I, of course, having been raised in this obnoxiously Puritanical society, did not flinch. But Hans was like, "What!?" He was befuddled. Over what I did not know. I thought maybe he didn't understand the joke that was said. No, no, he understood the joke just fine. He was shocked--shocked!--that the curse word was bleeped! This distinctly American practice had been lampooned on German television, and he thought it was just the Germans poking fun at the uptight Americans. He was astonished that the practice was real and alive in the 21st century!
