nt of another's creative work is both practically and morally insupportable. 'practically' because it automatically cripples the artist, because he/she must always be concerned with predicting how the 'judge' will take the work. The Minneapolis ordinance is especially heinous in this respect because it makes it so difficult to predict the judge's reaction. 'morally' simply because this is a terrible thing to do to people: putting their thoughts in a strait-jacket, making them adjust their output, not based on how it will affect others, but how others MAY THINK it affects others. Shudder. Steve Upstill
