Why should knowledge be feared? For the most part, this "hidden knowledge" is more dangerous in the hands of adults with hidden personal agendas (such as the average government) than it would be in the hands of children or learning-disabled (what's the right term?) adults. I knew in junior high what was necessary to create a bomb, and I haven't blown up any countries yet (it's only been 18 years since jr. high, gimme some time?) -- knowledge itself is not dangerous. Can't we find out this information from libraries, anyway? --Kynn
