On several adult fantasy fiction sites, I've read a number of fiction works which feature "re-writes" to history as either a core part of the storyline or a side-benefit to the storyline. 

Essentially, be it through anthropogenic or unintentional means, the characters are affected in some way by a gradual series of revisions of their pasts, usually without noticing the effects and believing that they have always been their transformed selves.

A subset of this trend, the "suggestion", incorporates the main characters trading suggestions which project their desires into a revision of each other's pasts, again without the affected character being knowledgeable about the prior state of their lives or bodies. 

Within transformation fiction and the related transformation fetish, the idea that one of many "pasts" can be grafted into the individual character as a fact of the individual's existence is enthralling for, if I assume, many readers, while it may give others pause or a sense of dread which parallels the post-Korean War paranoia concerning mind control and brainwashing by government intelligence services.

 

 "You too Mr.Tucker were sent here by Jesus but I doubt if he has much more use for you here judging from some of your idiot comments . He may call you home just any moment. When I pray tonight,I will tell Him that you and Stewart don’t have any thing left to do here. Don’t bother to pack.They don’t let you take anything with you where you wil be going."

 Due to me being unable to post a comment in response: 

What interests me about these organizations is the fact that, from a libertarian perspective, they are non-governmental entities advocating for censorship of other non-governmental entities' disseminations of media, and are willing to use a sort of "denial of service" of the latter through boycotts, pickets and intense propaganda campaigns.

In the eyes of the most ardent anarcho-capitalist, this is still "nonviolent" pressure because the censormongers are not physically touching their targets or threatening to do so, and the targets can adapt by either acquiescing to the pressure or finding an alternative niche to which they can appeal, abandoning the censormongers; from any other perspective, however, the pro-censorship campaigns are using a threat of delegitimization in order to enshrine an existing privilege against those who are playing host to or servicing segments or markets in the populace who are not as gung-ho about the preservation of privilege. It is the act of the powerful (or those who believe or wish themselves to be powerful) delegitimizing the less-powerful for no reason other than the preservation or gaining of their privilege and the misplaced calming of their inner insecurities.

It is the sort of "chilling effects" behavior which hate groups tend to exercise on a constant basis, and the censorship advocated by these sorts of organizations tends to hardly be susceptible to resistance unless the audience can be persuaded, in the long run, to ignore the tantalization of the salacious pro-censorship campaigns.

• Legal clinic
• Musical clinic
• Insurance clinic
• Real estate clinic

The use of the word "clinic" outside of the health professions and disciplines is interesting, as the term generally implies that a small, dedicated staff or firm is performing a set of services to the local community (often on a "pro bono" basis, in the case of legal clinics) and often using the labor of student interns who are studying for degrees and qualifications in the field. 

Also, 

Just to try it out.

I was browsing today, reading on the debate on whether or not censorship only occurs when it is performed by the government or some violent non-state actor. 

Then I happened upon this appeal issued by the EFF, calling for an end to censorship. It particularly hit home with the following:

Unfortunately, these values are only as strong as the will to support them. When individuals or companies choose to turn their backs on protected speech, we all lose.

Mike Linksvayer further expanded upon this idea, in the vein of copyright reform, by advocating free culture licenses as an altruistic rejection of one's own privilege of censorship:

Not only does EFF fight censorship, they also retain almost no right to censor works they produce. They use a Creative Commons Attribution license, which only requires giving credit to make any use (well, any use that doesn’t imply endorsement). You should also join them is saying no to censorship in this way — no to your own ability to be a censor.

Finally, Freenet operates upon a principle of plausible deniability, whereby users of nodes are immediately saddled with a random, anonymous cache of block data on their corresponding hard drive disks, the result of which is that both everyone and no-one takes ownership of the hosting of prohibited content. This allows for Freenet to operate on an increasingly-absolute idea of "freedom of speech" - that no one within or outside can take down one iota of content or take exclusive ownership of said content from the ether of Freenet. 

While the world only began to find out about David Kato within the last three years of his life, much of what is traceable about him resides chronologically within the last 13 years of his life, from his return to Uganda in 1998 at the age of 34 to his murder in January at the age of 46.

Before 1998, he spent an indeterminate number of years as a teacher in South Africa. At the time of his return, Nelson Mandela was just about to complete his only term as the first black president of the country and turn the gavel over to his Deputy president Thabo Mbeki, and Uganda was just sending its troops into the Democratic Republic of Congo to back a rebel group in the deadliest conflict in Africa since World War II. Since 1994, the South African government was putting forth a series of measures decriminalizing many aspects of LGBT life in the country, including a 1998 measure for prohibition of labor discrimination based on sexual orientation.

Kato was cited by a few reports as having participated in anti-apartheid activities before it was dismantled, but the details are extremely murky because of a lack of available date placements for his participation in South African anti-apartheid activities.

So fining some more specific details on Kato's life pre-1998 would help.

 On one side, there are the caricatures of Mubarak with a Star of David on his forehead....and red fangs protruding from his mouth.</ref> One such picture was held by a man in a Getty Images photo that was uncontextually-placed in an article by english.aljazeera.net (by mistake, I assume).

On the other side, there are the verbal and physical assaults on foreign and domestic journalists (including Al Jazeera) by pro-Mubarak counter-protesters, many of whom shout "yehudi!" ("Jew!") at them after being told by Egyptian state television rumors about "Israeli spies" infiltrating the foreign media and taking advantage of the chaos.

If anything, the above incidents within the last few days are exemplary of the casual, provincial anti-Jewish bigotry being exhibited by many of the everyday Egyptians who protest both for and against the current, long-ruling government. It runs deep, and has been punctuated by decades, if not centuries, of both official and non-official solicitations to the scapegoating of the specter of evil, baby-killing, bloodthirsty Zionist monsters.

Furthermore, such public manifestations of bigotry lend credibility to those outside of Egypt who fear the influence of the proscribed Muslim Brotherhood party in the anti-Mubarak movement, but also hold the Mubarak government in a muted ill-regard for decades of authoritarian misrule. 

The last two weeks in Egypt, if not the last month in much of North Africa and Western Asia, have offered remote viewers outside of the regions a game-changing view into the desires and lives of the residents who have lived under similar regimes. However, in the midst of the chants for greater democracy, better governance and brighter economic prospects, it would be a grave mistake to ignore the existing religious and ethnic bigotries which run deep and hard in Egyptian society, bigotries which may or may not manifest in a post-Mubarak Egypt, or a post-kleptocratic North Africa and Western Asia.

 Fox Nation comment thread in re: Rand Paul's comments on scorched-earth cutting of foreign aid to all states (including Israel).

Just....ewww.....racism, religious bigotry, illiteracy, malice, theodicy all mixed into one big bag of crap that is resembles my most disturbing imagination about the comment threads and associated community of a FreeRepublic-owned YouTube.

 I can't remember the entirety of it, but I had a dream today which, in the last scene, showed me talking in bed, under covers and naked, with a nice-looking guy who is bald and as hairy-bodied as myself (save with a *much* longer, handlebar-like mustache and hair which is mostly dark reddish and curly).

At one point, we were relaxed and bantering with each other, my arm wrapped around his chest, the sunlight flowing into the large apartment/hotel bedroom window. 

Next thing, I can recall, as he was slowly getting up to straddle himself on top of me, the question about money came up. I am pretty sure that I was discussing my desires and ideas with him. Suddenly, he was all like "I don't know why you're so worried about that!" I responded, "Wait, don't you have a job?" 

"Of course not!"

And at that point, the dream began to unravel as my hackles were raised a bit. I'm very sure that I began to hurriedly think of how I should present myself at a job, or what niche idea I should pursue in the IT industry, but it was to no avail.
