"I know it when I see it" quote/reference originally related to an opinion 
of a supeme court justice when commenting on pornography.  Can pornography 
also be art?  Does art have to be ethical or moral?   SCB

Harvey, I agree with everything you said in general. But somehow,
personally, I feel this particular show is different than the

Aren't you the one who said I don't know what art is, but I know it
when I see it?
