Huh. This is the first time in hearing about this. But I suppose it isn't without merit. Though I do think she might be blowing things a little out of proportion. It isn't like we've been suppressing the arts for decades, it's been a few months and I'm sure everyone can agree that a thriving artistic community is something you can only indulge in if you have an actual functioning society first.
But I'm not against her doing this, if she is prepared to take the responsibility for it.
