money comes from the NEA in the form of grants. a grant is not just doled out willy-nilly, without thought or consideration. you have to apply for it, spelling out what you intend to achieve and how. and once you get the money, you have to account for how it's spent. now, the thing i find so telling about rants like jacoby's is that not once does he claim that any of these works that he cites were created using NEA funds. just that they were created/exhibited/performed by individuals or institutions that received NEA grant money. not the same thing. --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list
