- No, it doesn't, because you don't have to. - con_carne Jul 3, 08:20 4
  - Was that NEA or was that budgeted by the local Transit Authority. - TWuG Jul 3, 08:22 3
    - Please, you can do better than switching your arguement back and forth between "NEA," then "all government" then back to "NEA" again. - con_carne Jul 3, 08:25 1
      - Those aren't my words. The only post I didn't say "NEA" in, it was implied because that's what we've been discussing. - TWuG Jul 3, 08:30

- If we had continue3d to fund the arts at the same levels since, I'm sure we'd have a lot more recent examples. -- nm - znufrii Jul 3, 08:18
