this paragraph froman article about Moore's film speaks true...

"Ever since the Greek tragedies, artists have, from time to time, asked themselves how they might influence ongoing political events. It's a tricky question because two very different types of power are involved. Many theories of aesthetics and ethics revolve round this question. For those living under political tyrannies, art has frequently been a form of hidden resistance, and tyrants habitually look for ways to control art."

...Rabel had his painting removed by ZOWAA officials because he painted a "sad" face in purple...having a street gang's mentality, ZOWAA offcials took it upon themselves to remove the painting by our 19 year old Assyrian artist from the art display at the AANF Chicago convention...the reason given was that purple is ZOWAAs's official color and any use of it in a "negative" way is an insult aimed at ZOWAA...and these are the people who lead us...who tell THEMSELVES they lead us...

...I doubt Rabel was "resisting" anything or anyone...just decided to use the color purple...but NOW we know we have something worth resisting..Christianoengineeringofascism.
