Not ONE PERSON with an opposing viewpoint showed up and asked a single question or made a single comment. All the questions were from people who had enjoyed the show. <BR/>This is not something that art shows normally do. You don't go to a gallery and then get to debate with the painter about their work. It was a generous gesture on the part of the performers.<BR/>Further, the sponsoring group offered a post-show survey for audience members to voice their feelings about the show. <BR/>Taking into account the free speech forum as well, there were clearly many many opportunities fostered before, during, and after this show for the WM community to engage in "Jeffersonian" debate and discussion. Revely is going to have to find some other reason to complain about the show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
