I don't have the time or emotional energy to make a mockery of a Justice System which does a damn fine job of making a mockery of itself.

If they argue that the image is not offensive, you just have to quote the law and state that it doesn't matter since the law just says that it has to be potentially offensive and you are offended. The media would have a field day and the court would have no choice but to invalidate the law for being over-broad.WisTexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246287556888097066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113810428079736580.post-19591687156710144752012-12-16T21:13:56.220-06:002012-12-16T21:13:56.220-06:00bravo!bravo!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113810428079736580.post-28064036558667437752012-06-03T01:46:41.440-05:002012-06-03T01:46:41.440-05:00No it isn't.No it isn't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113810428079736580.post-78760487148895189082012-06-03T01:45:08.116-05:002012-06-03T01:45:08.116-05:00Tupac spelled backwards is after all Kaput.Tupac spelled backwards is after all Kaput.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113810428079736580.post-20678497417033743692012-05-03T12:45:23.787-05:002012-05-03T12:45:23.787-05:00I am so glad to see your art is still provoking. ...I am so glad to see your art is still provoking. Some people seem to overlook the difference between freedom of speech and the gross negligence of basic human rights. Artists are not responsible for the ignorance of those that can not distinguish the difference between cyber bullying and those that just can't ignore the downward spiral of American forward thinking and progress, especially at the hands of our so-called leaders.

I was taught that.<br /><br />It is the responsibility of the parents to teach Their kids this. And I am no virgin of bullying. I was made miserable often by the kids at school. But that's what I learned. Sticks and stones. And that I could CHOOSE to think about it differently. I could think, Wow. I'm so much BETTER than those idiots. *I* don't behave that poorly towards others.<br /><br />So... I am responsible for how I feel by virtue of how I choose to think. Don't pass "laws" to "protect" People from Their own poor choices in thinking.<br /><br />LOVE the art!

Passing something as absolute as a law that uses grossly subjective terms like "potentially offensive" or "may cause emotional distress" is a dangerous and ineffective method to solve a societal issue instead. Laws should be used to outlaw acts that are unequivocally illegal.
