I don't think writing to politicians as such on these kinds of issues does much good. Better to try to get the media involved with letters to the editor and so forth, or stunts that get attention. That's a much better way of getting politicians interested as well.

But I'm still puzzled where "not culturally unique" comes into it. Is the implication that if you play a Tibetan nose flute while riding a unicycle along a tight rope you are OK to avoid all this red tape?
