A prediction which ought to make all artists wary. I think that in the near future an appeals court will be created specifically to judge the artist's right to revise their work. The court is petitioned by the audience after a work is revised and the artist must make their case for why they made the revision. The court must judge if the revisions were just and true to the original version of the art or if they were done for some other reason. If the artist proves that the revisions held true to the original vision wins the case. However in the opposite instance where the alterations are seen as harmful to the original vision the artist would lose the case and would be mandated by the court to either reverse the alterations or if the work is for sale as a product the artist, (or those responsible for the artworks sales), then both versions would atleast have to be offered.

Also, as a political junkie and an unabashed Liberal (Democratic Socialist) Len's prediction of the oncoming civil war makes my head spin. If the situation reaches a "Boiling point" ::wink::, it would not result as a civil war as the nation's first civil war had, but would result as a revolution. This would be a revolution against our established government much like many of the European nations had. It all has to do with how the divide is formed, and in this instance the two opposing sides of the divide will not hold a loyalty to any established organizing body, (ie. the Union against the Confederate States). This as many of the the recent uprisings is very class oriented, and if anything this would be the "cold" class war turning "hot".

PS - I finished SGU recently and decided to start on Stargate SG-1 in order for the first time as well! (via Netflix instant stream too!)
