  Hmm... DPL, that doesn't ring a bell. Do I *want* to know what it is? ;-)

  Hmm... probably not a bad idea. Nietzsche is an intriguing character...

  Yes, I would. At least in the context I understand you are referring to. I 
don't see a problem if Debian censored some texts, and no, I would not fight 
to the death to prevent the Debian developers to do this, but I suspect you 
mean if the government tried to set a "our way or the highway" policy on 
thought - and in that case, the answer is most definately yes.
