Summary: 

nt of another's creative work is both practically and morally
insupportable.  'practically' because it automatically cripples the artist,
because he/she must always be concerned with predicting how the 'judge' will
take the work.  The Minneapolis ordinance is especially heinous in this respect
because it makes it so difficult to predict the judge's reaction.  'morally'
simply because this is a terrible thing to do to people: putting their thoughts
in a strait-jacket, making them adjust their output, not based on how it will
affect others, but how others MAY THINK it affects others.  Shudder.
