Man..... I dunno.

This is getting too close to censorship.
To key in on the artist using a pig to represent a cop, is not new or novel.
It has its founding under a historical sense.
If you look at the art work, it displays a lot of other symbolism.
I get how it can be offensive, just like the N word, or any other derogatory referencing, but think real hard on this gang, free expression is just that.

I hang pictures of ducks and a portrait of my dog in my house because it's what I want to see.

I don't hang impressionist art because I don't like impressionist art.

I look at that, this way.

The person, making that art,
has  Every right, to make that art.

However, a  Person, has the  SAME,  ‘right’,
 to, or not to,      hang such, art for display!

BOTH, are covered by the little thing called the 1st Amendment.

I Also like  Photos/paintings, of  dogs, wildlife.
 But  WOE  Be it to, ANYBODY, who tells me,
I,  HAVE  TO, hang, (or not hang), something from, Calder,  which I can make in 2 minuets, in my garage.


Now, for the, ‘Paul Harvey’,
That, ‘art’ hung in a  public place,  
(Wait, it is  Not, a  Public Place)
  "... artwork to hanging in the Cannon Office Building tunnel that connects the Capitol with members’ legislative offices. ..."
Anyway, if it was a  ‘public Place’,  does it represent the views, of the,  ‘Tax Paying Citizens’, or the, ‘Gimmie Gimmie people. ?

Just recently, in Minn,  Governer  Goofy,  (‘er, Dayton),  
Wanted to  BAN,  the  150 Year Old Panting, depicting the Minn View of the. ‘Civil War’.
After restoration of the Capital.

Was that, ‘Censorship’;  by Gov  Goofy, ?
Was it,  ‘Re-Righting’,  History. ?
Or was it to,  ’satisfy’, 12 people, that,  ‘Protested’ ???

(The paintings are NOW, Put  Back)

Ben Franklin once said: "If you give up a freedom, for the sake of security, you will have neither".
Which is More TRUE, today, than yesterday.('06, S-40, Stock) well, mostly .
