I agree that there are certainly pieces of art that I wouldn't call artwork, although I am sure that some people would think otherwise. I love being called a cultural elitist because it shows that people aren't paying attention.
I want art - all forms of art. Express every viewpoint. I'm not looking to censor or get rid of anyone's point of view. You want to run a gallery presenting our glorious president in every aspect of his life - fine with me. You want to create a play showing how McCarthy should be considered one of the true heroes in America - fine with me. But when you want to cut off funding for the arts because it expresses opinions that you don't agree with, that's where we disagree. Personally, I think much of talk radio does nothing but spew lies and contribute to the divide in our society that we have today. But I'm not saying it should go away. I believe the idea of Americans being able to freely express themselves is the mark of a Patriot. To do less, is to be an enemy to all that America was supposed to be. ------------------------ Yahoo!
