*sigh*

I'm sure there are other quotes that people who do not share your political 
persuasion might find propaganda or offensive, etc.  Censorship and freedom
of speech is quite a sticky widget, and I think the only truly sane policy
is that fortune files are append-only (unless we outright remove them and
that seems excessive).  And new things should have a very high bar to be
added to fortune.  Perhaps we should move fortunes-o to ports entirely?
