There are approved thoughts in the U.S. too. Larry Summers wasn't allowed to think it is possible that there may be some gender differences in intellectual leanings. You get stiffer punishments for "hate" crimes. Try posting into a chat forum somewhere that you want to do something that a political leader in the U.S. wouldn't want you to do to him or her and see what happens. The secret service will show up at your door -- it has happened, because "threatening the President is illegal."

It is humorous to me, that we are allowed to have guns in order that one day we can defend ourselves against tyranny, but merely talking about what may be necessary to do that is illegal.
The level of hypocrisy in the google vs. china debate is bewildering.
