Thanks to the intellectual pollution that inundates our society, I predict that a backlash is coming, there will be regulation of intellectual pollution

"It is not the function of art to wallow in dirt for dirt's sake, never its task to paint the state of decomposition, to draw cretins as the symbol of motherhood, to picture hunchbacked idiots as representatives of manly strength.
  --Adolf Hitler (Nazi Party Rally, Nürnberg, 1935)

Ah, the intellectually devastating “You’re a Nazi” argument. Where have we heard that before? Oh yes, that’s what the Palestinians are calling the Israelis.

And by the way, take off the name of the speaker and tell me why you disagree? Come on, I know you can defend "the purpose of art is to wallow in dirt for dirt’s sake," etc. It’s right there in the Constitution, right?

Ironically, Hitler wanted nothing more than to simply be a modestly successful artist. If he had passed on particular art class instead of failing it, he would have been a mundane artist forgotten in history.
