I really like the content in the original post and I think I agree with you somewhat. My position on the arts is that the government should provide the oppurtunity for art and culture to exist. To this extent they should provide the buildings and grants to subsidize the operating costs of museums. Where I draw the line is at content. The government should not be giving money to aquire art or support collections or bring in world class soloist that should be up to the patrons and donars. As soon as the government is involved in funding the actual content it becomes sensored.
On a side note is the upside down church on display yet? I like the double entendre on the name where the church can be considered as the title states "A device to root out evil" or can easily be mis read as "root of all evil"
