A 'national obscenity standard' is not inappropriate, I think, but ... it's just ripe for a take-over by minority groups with agendas. In either direction. I definitely agree with Bacchus here.

However, the downside is, it could make things <b>more</b> dangerous for folks in permissive communities like San Francisco. If the prosecutor can introduce evidence of a national "community standard" that's less permissive, then folks who restrict their artistic expression to places like San Francisco just saw their risk go up.
