Interesting thought, the concept of government funding being the bench mark of what is considered art. This goes to show you what happens when socialistic practices are adopted and applied to something. Very often it is the out cry for justice and fairness from those who think that government is the answer to all problems large and small that brings about government involvement in areas where they should not put their grubby, grasping, self serving, ignorant, dirty, corrupt, narrow minded, uneducated, bureaucratic, self indulgent, self righteous, mean, nasty, and destructive hands. The things they are supposed to help, they control, the things they are supposed to advance, they retard, and the things they are supposed to preserve they destroy. In the end we are left with a mediocre shadow of what came before government got involved that is more repressive than the situation it was asked to assist.
