re: #224 ObserverArt

I know what you are saying, and I agree. But I’ve always wondered if it is the image itself that is pornographic or is it the viewer and what they are seeing and how they are seeing it?

And that has always been a problem with all the arts. You don’t need nudity, or ‘bad’ words and all that to really make some people upset with an image, or song, book, etc. So, it is how they view something as to how they assign it goodness or evil intent.

One person looking at a painting as beautiful and the other all pissed off because they are reading in something they bring to the idea based on something they were taught and learned.

That is why I always cringe when people start to want to ban and prohibit. I can see some things needing it, but often we get all heavy-handed. A good example…look at the books that still get cut from certain school’s lists. Some of them have been on and off lists for decades.

But then again…some of the same people are still trying to rid the world of Charles Darwin. Ahhh…the acts of a church in God’s name!

And I hear some word work finish remover calling out it is ready for the coating to be removed. Back later…

Which Attorney General was it who wanted to shroud lady liberty?
