[QUOTE="TLK Valentine, post: 70481440, member: 306134"] Ah, but it [I][B]is[/B][/I] relevant -- because your "no" answer just gave the government the power to censor any and all forms of non-verbal communication it sees fit. Anti-government art is now [I]verboten[/I], which includes any political cartoons that are uncaptioned. When one remembers that literacy rates in the time of the founding fathers weren't optimal (a condition that sadly, hasn't improved nearly enough), one realizes the implications. I assume you aren't familiar with this quote attributed to corrupt Tammany Hall "Boss" Tweed: [B][I]Stop the [censored] pictures! I don't care what the papers write about me. My constituents can't read, but [censored] it, they can see the pictures! [/I][/B] Congratulations: you've just handed the government a powerful tool to silence dissent. [/QUOTE]
