Hey Ken

Not knowing the topic makes it hard for me.
Ken I love you man but your thoughts are liberal and free.  In my
birthplace this would be viewed as socialist or communist which are against
God and country.

Having lived in Germany I understand there are views other than that of my
place of birth.

I suggest that unless it fails the newspaper test or it is something you
would not want to tell your grandmother about it should be ok.  Maybe do a
double show day.

Censorship in our group unless the above happens is not ok and puts you Ken
and Dave in a tough spot.
