Popularity does not, in my book anyway, make morality.

If fifty-one percent of the population of Canada decided that
anyone with a post-consonant 'h' in their name should be sent
to a concentration camp, would you go?
 
(This may seem silly and far-fetched, but an equivalent body of
good ol' Americans appears to have decided the same in my case.
Fortunately, they will have to catch me first.)

If your ruling majority thinks a piece of art is worth buying,
let them buy it.  Must they force everyone else to buy it, too?
