- Gee. Let's say I smuggle cocaine for living. Or run a teen brothel. And then
- some government pops up and limits my work! How ridiculous!
-
- Or say my art is making child pornography movies. And I am the best in the
- world at that. Until some ridiculous FBI clowns lock me up, limiting my art.
-
- Or I love this actress so much that in order to show her my love I shoot the
- President. And instead of praising my love, this ridiculous judge limits it,
- putting me in a madhouse...
-
- Yeah, limits on one's work/art/love are sooo ridiculous!

- No, unless the publisher is Serbian. (I assume `calling for blood' was a figure
- of speech...)

- No business with Serbia. I rest my case.
