People from Saudi Arabia (or Brooklyn) come here and see all those things already, but even in Manhattan don't see anyone sucking their own cock (unless they go very far out of their way). There is a reasonable middle ground. A deliberate choice to not occupy that middle ground is to fail in our primary mission.

We are not in a position to stop government filtering, but we should nevertheless not violate mores held by the vast majority of the Chinese people.
