Title: Interesting choice, internet filter.

I was not able to access www.secondamendment.net (http://www.secondamendment.net), because Websense, the filter used at this job, considers it "Racism and hate".  :rofl:

Hm.  I was curious enough to look, and to spot check a few articles.  Much of what I read bears striking similarity to various pieces of white power literature I've had the misfortune to be exposed to over the years.  Which leaves me with two possibilities to consider.  So it doesn't surprise me that something as non-intuitive as an internet search engine would find unacceptable. 

However, I refuse to take seriously any publication that uses Comic Sans as a primary font.  I'll just take it as satire and move along!
