He notes that, these days, any of act of civil disobedience could attract the attention of the Department of Homeland Security, and adds, "Right...
...they suceed far too well. At a certain point I think the visceral-reaction-inducing qualities begin to take over the entire work, and—precicesly because they succeed so well in provoking a reaction—it becomes hard for a work that is anything other than uni-dimensional to compete...
