	Don't bother. The party line here is to 'fight' for 'freedom'
	in places where the american imperialist military has problems
	gathering 'intelligence'. 

	Prime example : A country like china is firewalled  so the 
	pentagon can't spy on the chinese internet directly. Hence,
	tor. 

	And of course, in a place like the US you're going to find
	extensive censorship in 'public' and 'private' websites. Hell
	that is American Freedom! In a united state people should be
	free to censor any kind of disent.
