So, you are preferring a terrorist attack to an increase in funding for the NEA?

Fund Piss-Christ, or the terrorists win.

riri posted the following:

At least with terror attacks people wake up and pay attention to what is going on around them. With this creeping socialist nightmare, our nation is slowly having the soul zapped out of it.

This statement is constructed in such a manner as to lead one to believe that while there is some merit in a terrorist attack ("At least....people wake up and pay attention to what is going on around them"), there is NO merit in the "creeping socialist nightmare".

My question stands, and I would like an explanation. Does riri really believe that a terrorist attack is better than funding NEA?

IF... this news regarding an increase in NEA funding is true, do you think it's possible the increased funding is an effort to redirect the NEA from such despicable exhibits that were called art during the X42 administration.

I have briefly looked over the site and, so far, find no objectionable material. Seems the emphasis is to expose people to the arts in their varied forms.

My belief in enhancing the appreciation of the arts among young people extends to volunteer teaching art in an elementary school when the district eliminated funding for such a teacher.

Art/Music/Literature are part of human history and the best of it should be conveyed to our young people who might not otherwise have the opportunity for exposure.

Good to see you.

Bush has been proposing bad ideas at an amazing rate of late.
