   Ok, that's the answer I predicted.  And then of course the canonical   
   followup question goes something like: if Michelangelo in his aging   
   years went insane and decided he wanted to hunt down and destroy all   
   of his sculptures, should society be granted any recourse to stop   
   that from happening?  I know that currently there is no such recourse,   
   I'm just asking your opinion if you think there should be.

   I know that.  And I have exercised that right.  It's irrelevant to   
   the question.
