Again, Dennis, my primary opposition is to the Federal funding of
the arts, as there is no provision for this in the US

but I oppose State funding as well, though this is quite a
different issue.

The value of life is measured in art. Those who achieve the highest
stature of life get all their material substance from artists..
Architects, furniture makers, painters, landscapers, clothing
makers... everything is measured in art. Art is what gives special
value to life. Art is about inspiration. Art is the thing that
makes leaps in the linear progression of life. Sure love and family
is important as well, love and family gets or should get public
support. The human race is full of people with specific
capabilities and specific limitations. An enlightened people will
support the important strengths of those otherwise limited.
Otherwise you are pretty much a natzi.
