Yes, but the law of the Net is free speech.  Just because Singapore is run
by a bunch of weenies doesn't mean the Internet should conform to their

                   Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!
                   Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
                   Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
                   The lone and level sands stretch far away."
