Really? So, I can immerse a crucifix in a bottle of urine and display it 
as art?

How about an exhibition of family photos of the Iraqi girl who was raped 
and murdered, along with her family and set on fire by American G.I.s? 
You think that would be considered obscene by the government? How about 
if it was broadcast during primetime?

Can I tell some street corner preacher that he is full of shit? You 
know, without getting arrested? How about a Congressman? 

The threat of violence or imprisonment over private or even political 
speech in this country has gone far beyond justification and is rapidly 
approaching criminal suppression.
