I think the biggest thing in regards to this was that the art in
question (Madonna, elephant dung, etc.), in which Guliani was referring
to, was paid for with taxpayers money. As an advocate of eliminating the

government waste. We can go on and on in terms of what art is and isn't,
in which I agree with both of you, but I don't think public funding for
any projects like this are needed. If you want to make it, fine, but
don't expect me to pay for the tab.

P.S. I think we are all artists in some ways. Our medium? The brick! :)

| (...) Yikes! Well, I won't flame you because I expect that neither of us is qualified to define "art." However, you've mounted some ad hominem attacks against prospective artists, and, in the end, these can weaken your own credibility and do nothing (...)
