> then take it down.

Love this idea!

But I get to decide what's permitted and what's not.

We're going to start with art that I don't understand, then off to literature that I don't care for, when all of that filth is cleaned out, it's on to expressions of thought that everyone intuitively knows are wrong, then we progress to purge politics of incompatible policy and incorrect voting patterns.

Ok?

That's the slippery slope logical fallacy. You've ignored the possibility that a meaningful middle ground exists.

Ok- I'll tell you what.

In compromise toward the middle-ground, I'll only eliminate art that I don't value.

With some simple common-sense, I think we can really fix the art world.

My subjective, but firmly-held opinions, naturally.
