Wow, imagine children being portrayed as empowered and having some control 
of their destiny and future, whatsoever shall the neighbors think...purely 
scandalous, we can't have that happening...

Seems to be the way to go, follow the crowd, live like sheep and all 
that...try not to think too hard, that's not approved of.  Deviation from 
the mean will be cause for concern and discipline.

On a more serious note, I've seen it before, the Mormon Church made it a sin 
to play any product by White Wolf games, you can't even buy them in in the 
Salt Lake area, the state government made it illegal to sell them.  A friend 
of mine who was a missionary filled me in why his local Elders disliked me 
so much... *grins*

I'll second that opinion and lend a hand once we get the Romans out of 
Eire...
