What are you talking about?
 
1) You are free to post your "banana" opinion on your user page, user talk page, and Metapedia.
 
2) You are free to STATE THAT SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE the "banana' thing on any relevant page.
 
The only thing Wikipedia policy forbids is to state that America ACTUALLY IS what you think it is. This is not an opinion board, like Usenet. It's an encyclopedia. Points of view must be attributed to their adherents. If you can't think of a famous author or person who agrees with you, just attribute the POV to "some people".
 
Sheesh. You act like someone's trying to censor you. What is it with you people? Don't you read the guidelines?

While the rest of the world came to to the conclusion that America is just a jumped up banana-republic junta run by a bunch of crypto-fascists with a finger glued permanently to the self-destruct button a long time ago, you're not allowed to point it out in Wikipedia. How thoroughly refreshing to be working on such an enlightened project. Dickens' Ministry of Circumlocution would have been proud of the people who deleted that page.
