Bertrand Russell: When the law intervenes to remove obscene publications, they are canceled at the same time, and in a large quantity, significantly desirable things.
A few years ago they were mailed some pictures of a prominent Dutch artist to an English buyer.
Officials destroyed the pictures, and the buyer did not get the slightest compensation.
The law gives the post office the power to destroy everything that officials deem obscene (and its decision is unappealable)
Is it possible to ascertain where lies the boundary between acceptable and obscene?
I think that varies greatly from person to person, in the case of John Collier's pictures, for example.
