'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.
