[ Well, if you start from a foundation in which your values are intrinsically and universally correct, for everyone, then it's easy to endorse censorship. Conservatives oppose anything which is counter to their traditional value structure, so art, which is often progressive, tends to always be at the top of that list.

I've always sort of wondered how some conservatives can claim to support the first amendment. Ann You-can-say-what-you-want,-as-long-as-you-don't-disagree-with-me,-treasonous-liberal!" Coulter comes to mind. Seems like freedom of expression is counter to the core of the conservative ethos for a disturbing number of people. -k]
