4. K&R- The right hates and fears art, and they always have...I don't know why it scares them

so much, but that's one reason I love it so...

7. They hate it because it's uncontrollable and freedom of any kind

freaks them out.

11. WOW! missed that...thank you. Creating is life for so many and

pure pleasure to its enthusiasts. Fine art is a commodity to the elite.

9. It's part of the class war. I would bet Sidwell Friends etc. aren't cutting arts. As long as we

refuse to admit there's a class war (actually, a class slaughter might be a better term since one side isn't fighting back) and sit obediently waiting for our shrinking paychecks to be delivered (one more week, please!), this crap will just get worse.

10. without art, what is life?

existance- survival?

Without art, how would we know and feel what has gone before us?

K&R with pleasure.
