De-Composition

What exactly is the purpose of censorship, other than to piss me off? I think some may argue that it is an attempt to protect people from the offensive, the morbid, the disturbing. And even though I think censorship adds to ignorance, I am completely guilty of participating in it.

For example, my blog, Viaggio, began as a cool way to keep in touch with folks. It evolved into my thoughts and opinions, a place to practice writing, and then became a place for my readers. I started blogging with the idea that they - my family, my students, my friends - were hanging out on the virtual couch on my shoulder, overlooking every key stroke. I started to censor my ideas and opinions which either showed a tremendous respect for my readers, if you believe in that definition of the word, OR it exposed a character flaw in me - the fact that I can't be completely honest with my loved ones. Either way, I'm sunk. I need to be able to rationalize, lament and scream without concerning myself with the shoulder couch potatoes. I suppose the easiest way to do this is to begin afresh. Hence we have De-Composition:

De (Chinese), concept of "integrity" in Daoism and "virtue" in Confucianism

Composition (logical fallacy), a fallacy of ambiguation in which one assumes that a whole has a property solely because its various parts have that property
Composition (visual arts), the plan, placement or arrangement of the elements of art in a work
Composition (language), in literature, oratory, and rhetoric, producing a work of spoken tradition or written literature

Decomposition (or spoilage) refers to the reduction of the body of a formerly living organism into simpler forms of matter.
