Neighbors are victims

Some people view Hank Robar's toilet art as amusing and his right. I'm for artistic expression as long as it is not harming other individuals. Mr. Robar's neighbors have suffered a financial loss through no fault of their own, due to a drop in value of their homes. If those same people were harmed by a natural disaster, I'm guessing that the same good, liberal people who laugh might throw them a fundraiser. These immediate neighbors' loss is just less tangible, but very real. I don't love all the art, some can even be offensive, but it is housed in an appropriate venue to view or not. I maintain that Mr. Robar's art is not just tacky, which is his right to display, but offensive. Spaghetti dinner, anyone?
