Public Salaciousness

A man sculpts a massive pair of woman's legs, spread open, in plain view for anyone walking along Welcome Avenue in Henderson, North Carolina. When people complain, he says there's nothing in the sculpture a kid shouldn't see. "If they learned a little bit more about this and stayed away from drugs, they'd be better off." Brilliant point, dufus.

Where do you begin with something like this? It's clearly inappropriate for a public spot, but a few people with warped (no) sensibilities get their way? The simplistic notion of freedom that we learned as young adults, "Your freedom ends where my nose begins," is inadequate in many ways, but it would apply to this situation and the sculpture, being in the public eye, would come down. Yet it looks like the sculpture will stay. The rest of the community be damned. This stilted individual wants it his way.
