What's good for the goose should be good for the gander. If it's perfectly fine for an Artiste like Bill Henson to take naked pictures of kids, and hang them on a gallery wall -- then it should be equally OK for the 65-year-old man who lives next door to you to do the same thing.
Here's where the intellectual confusion comes in: it isn't OK in the case of the 65-year-old man -- and pretty much everyone instinctively knows that it isn't OK. But they tend to get confused about the issue when the title of "Artiste" is hung on a sign around someone's neck.
