November 9, 1994 The time for promises is long past â€" it‘s time for action. Ageâ€"old question swirls around work...is it art or pornography? After all, how can our repreâ€" sentatives expect us to accept the inevitable and painful governâ€" ment spending cuts which are on the way, if they are unwilling to make sacrifices as well? That‘s why we urge your readâ€" ers to contact their MPs to demand that Parliament bring MPs‘ pensions into line with what‘s available in the private sector before those 52 MPs qualiâ€" fy to leap into the pension trough on Nov. 21st. What they call a pension is really a cashâ€"forâ€"life lottery, that none of us in the private sector could ever hope to afford. Prime Minister Jean Chretien promised during the last federal election to reform this outrageous pension plan; but to date, has done nothing. He and his colâ€" leagues may need a reminder.

After only six years in office, MPs qualify for a superâ€" rich pension that has unlimited protection against inflation, regardless of their age. 474 Iroquois Shore Rd. k he impetus for the recent rise in censorship cases in this country may very well be, as culture critic and vetâ€" eran journalist, Robert Fulford, said recently in Oakville â€" an issue of control.

Blakelock High School VIEW NIGHT I don‘t‘think he‘s far wrong. More and more, this society‘s impetus or rationale for taking any action at all seems to be one of control. I think it‘s behind our slavish devotion to meticulous gardens and lawns and parks that allows us to control nature, and I suspect it‘s behind our increasingâ€" ly frequent bouts of compartmenâ€" talizing, and scheduling, and proâ€" gramming our lives to death.

Because we are not satisfied at all by merely defining it â€" we want to mold it, control it, nor there. It is in the issue of cenâ€" sorship that control can be most dangerous. And it goes a lot further than Maclean‘s magazine piously asserts this week on its front cover â€" Who Defines Public Morality? 1.

In Toronto, Justice David McCombs of the Ontario Court‘s general division, has been asked to rule if 25â€"yearâ€"old selfâ€"taught Toronto artist Eli Langer‘s five paintings and 35 drawings violate a new tough child pornography law. The prosecution thinks they are pornographic and can be destroyed. It has relied on testiâ€" mony from child psychologists whose instincts say the paintings And I think that kind of thinkâ€" ing is wrong. In a society that prizes freedom of expression, it can also be dangerous. and finally, beat anything we do not like right out of existence. 5049 Circulation department .. home delivery ................

P.E.N. spokesperson Marion Botsford Fraser said on a special CBC panel discussion that it places unreasonable limits on the freedom of expression. More than that, it doesn‘t go at the issue of child pornography â€" by placing the emphasis and expanse at the could trigger deviant fantasies among pedophiles.

I agree. It is unfortunate. This is the first major test 0 the rough new child pornograph} law passed by the House o Commons one year ago. I, fo one, will not mourn if it fails. And if we must draw the lin then why do it with art? There ar certainly enough hard core por magazines and videos around. I going after a young artist, explo ing his own sexuality through th distressing issue of child abuse is this going after the problems o child pornography â€" is this doin anything, in a meaningful way, t protect children. I don‘t think so. It raises, as all good art doe some provocative questions; i invites argument; it allows fo some intriguing discourse. But advancing the case agam child abuse? All it really says is you can depict ugly things.
