The Second Axiom

Straussian: A careful writer of normal intelligence is more intelligent than the most intelligent censor as such. The burden of proof rests with the censor, it is he or the public prosecutor who must prove that the author holds or has uttered heterodox views. So one thing you can do simply omit things is what's so silly by its absence? What old joke told us how many times we need to change a light bulb? None is more circumspect and darkness is more circumscribed then something like Alif Numbers 1-2.
