What if it were the case that the production of, say, 65% of some class
of material involved either the kind of exploitation that you have named,
or else the ``it was that or starve'' question?  Not knowing whether a
given film was or was not made under these conditions, could you, in
good conscience, view it?

I'd like to point out that if I have a heart condition, your right to swing
your fist may well end a good deal further away than that; and if you don't
have good evidence that I don't suffer from a heart condition, you'd better
be prepared to expect that I do, or you might find out in a way that would
probably leave you rather sorry.

Otherwise, your article reeked of common sense ... which means that it probably
shouldn't be posted on this newsgroup ;^)
