I am no fan of big government, but let's face it that some very large initiatives simply need some regulatory heft behind them. Perhaps this is one and I believe it should be explored.
The comments about keeping government out of creative efforts seem odd. Are we better or worse off for having the NEA and NAS here in the US? And don't other countries have even more success pairing creativity and government? As many have pointed out, we have to be careful about how and in what we get involved, but I will say again that being part of the discussion is better than not. Let's enter while the door is open rather than knock later and hear that the meeting is closed. The most important thing we could work on as an organization is what we would do with a place at the table. ph . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
