Well just imagine if Lech Walesa got tired of censorship and decided to settle into his little hut and did nothing else. Think of others like Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, the Beatles, Michal Daniel, the Dixie Chicks... Oh wait...

But you hear what I'm saying even though I'm writing it without making a sound - it's zen.

Would Michelangelo's painting (you know, that graffitti he put on the ceiling of his sisters chapel or something like that) be less great if the color blue was deemed by authority as sacrilegious? He'd find another color and put something subtle in the painting to voice the exclusion of that unholy color so that future generations would see the subtle "F*** You" reference. (You know he as well as other artists did that, but of course not with blue since it was actually okay to use that color, believe it or not)

See our opinion of you (if you strike the "Dixie Chicks" reference)?

(Put on sad puppy face)
Otherwise you let the censorists win.
Sniff.
