Who is this person who feels that one form of censorship is any
worse than another, or that because some artists work uses nudity
it is PORNOGRAPHY?

Is he the enemy? It sounds to me (based on this posting) that he
is.

There is a deeper and more interesting event taking place than your jittery
storm tossed tea cup pornography with sugary images of women plunked like
de-eroticised cup cakes on your saucer.

Goto Nid Paloma's web site

http://www.art.net/~palomo/strike2.html

which contains pictures that she has taken from her television with a
digital camera depicting a general strike in Puerto Rico that has been
blacked out of the news in Ontario Canada.

Why?

You might well ask if you were not so deeply enthralled by the thrill of
nudity.
