The U.S constitution and Bill of Rights have been placed on a pedestal of such inviolability that it prevents even discussion of reform and the type of wholesale amendment that is needed without being charged as blasphemous. For this, America will forever remain limited, subject to a set of founding rules and regulations that cannot comfortably change organically over time in step with the changing, developing values and belief-systems of its citizens.

Maine's conservatives may have won Round 1, but there is an air of inevitability to gay marriage actually happening in our state in the not so distant future that keeps many of them genuinely concerned, even amid this current victory march.

Where freedom of artistic expression meets the risk of having a negative impact upon society- who can know? It is a question that carries great risk and yet it wholly merits our attention nonetheless.
