I believe you're right. As I recall, a disgruntled Saskatchewan farmer
painted the same thing, but only 75% of the size. He took it to the
gallery and asked (via the media I expect) for 75% of the price of the
original 'voice of fire', because his was only 75% of the size. Some
where I saw an item suggesting our government should have an appointed
'Senseperson', to be a scrutineer of government actions and ensure the
public that common sense prevailed. I reckon he'd be run off his
feet... it'd likely take two of them for every one politician to have a
chance at succeeding! ;-)
