I'll see if I can find anyone on campus who's been on an NEA advisory board--they can tell me
what the applications are like, and what the money actually does.

Lindsay, we can go back and forth on the NEA, but no matter what it
does, how how good it might be (In your sight), I think it is a bad
institution. As I have said before, give the money and power to the
communities which pay for it in the first place, which is a good start,
and see where it goes. The federal NEA, as other federal agencies are,
are bad, not what the intentions of this country are, and have far too
much money and power.

I'm in agreement that it's flawed.  I think where we differ is that I think it's better than nothing, whereas you believe that nothing would be better.  Until it happens, the question by its very nature can't be settled.

I think I'm going to go make some art out of my ABS now.

(...) Surprisingly enough, I agree with you on this in many ways, although there are some problems where I see a federal (or yes, even global) government as unavoidable.

Matt, (...) Well, going on the UN, and other organizations, like EU, etc. I would hope the US never joins it. (...) This whole rights discussion is pretty funny, Matt.
