Art, this is an interesting thought. Facinating, actually.
A little background: I am one who deeply distrusts government, but I am also hardwired to be suspicious of the popular, the trendy, the next best thing.
Anyhow, would you mind expounding upon the idea of societal trends that are fueled by romantic notions? And in the case at hand, i.e., restricting the dance style of cheerleaders, does a romantic notion reject or support the proposed state restrictions?
Thanks in advance, and Cheers.
