  - I'd love to go but am sick and need to sleep. Curse this virus!!! -- nm - Diva Jan 29, 14:18
I do have a problem with not funding art, I guess, and it's for the same reason that I have a problem with not funding NASA - Beryllium Jan 29, 14:15
�I do think that God has blessed our business,� Cathy said. - David Jan 29, 14:10 2

    - kilbo! do you have a favorite domain registrar for $10 or less who is not godaddy? -- nm - Max Jan 29, 14:15 2
      - I use 123cheapdomains because they also provide DNS hosting, but I think they are slightly above that price -- nm - Beryllium Jan 29, 14:16 1
        
        cool, thanks -- nm - Max Jan 29, 14:18

Speaking of White House press room, did ST weigh in on the missing transcripts on the website? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 29, 14:00
Sure not to be controversial: I heard someone on the radio complaining about stimulus money going to the NEA. Should government subsidize art? -- nm - Dano Jan 29, 13:59 43
- Yes, but it shouldn't be done under the guise of stimulating the economy. -- nm - Loyola Jan 29, 14:04 5
  - Although, in fairness, unless we fund the arts, who else is going to buy 3,000 yards of scrim, a tub of glitter, and 117 porcelain cows? -- nm - TFox Jan 29, 14:10 4
    - *laughing* yeah wouldn't want to put the glitter farmers out of work. -- nm - Loyola Jan 29, 14:11 2
      - My aunt is actually a regional glitter distributor, out of the back of her cheerleading gym. - TFox Jan 29, 14:13 1
        
        Heh, good for her. My sisters are nuts about it too. -- nm - Loyola Jan 29, 14:17
    - Cuzzin Todd does have a new house. -- nm - loosilu Jan 29, 14:11
- yes. -- nm - loosilu Jan 29, 14:04
- Yes, but I haet how much of a crutch and a demanded entitlement that many arts groups think it is. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 29, 14:03
- In Canada? Yes. In the US? Not so much. It just seems to run counter to how many USians want their government to behave. - Beryllium Jan 29, 14:03
- No. If artists can't find patrons or customers, tough. -- nm - TWuG Jan 29, 14:03
- [deleted] 2
  - ML and I are lining up on a political issue. This may be a first. - David Jan 29, 14:07 1
    - [deleted]
- Generally, yes. At the moment, not much. -- nm - David Jan 29, 14:00 27
  - I disagree. now it's more important than ever, as the private sector is forced to pull back its support. -- nm - znufrii Jan 29, 14:02 26
    - [deleted] 1
      - they can't give out money they don't have, regardless of whether or not they would choose to give more. - znufrii Jan 29, 14:13
    - The private sector is pulling back support for the same reason the government ought to. - TFox Jan 29, 14:04 17
      - I don't see the arts as an optional luxury to be indulged in only when we can afford to. - znufrii Jan 29, 14:05 16
        
        One thing artists don't tend to do well (at least in Canada) is articulate why art is important, and worthy of government funding - Roger More Jan 29, 14:17 5
        
        I can that as a valid criticism, sure. -- nm - znufrii Jan 29, 14:19
        
        I agree with that. They generally sound like Sigur Ros fans. If you were more refined, you would understand. - TFox Jan 29, 14:19 3
        
        I can see that being more a valid criticism of particular kinds of art, rather than the whole of Art itself... -- nm - znufrii Jan 29, 14:20 2
        
        Oh sure, but the type of art that gets funding (or at least gets talked about in the media about having gov't funding) is exactly that type of art -- nm - Roger More Jan 29, 14:22 1
        
        I do see what you're saying. -- nm - znufrii Jan 29, 14:25
        
        I believe the arts are crucial as well, but I also support them with my own dollars as well as government support. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 29, 14:12 3
        
        I'm not exactly sure where you're getting this perception of a sense of entitlement from... -- nm - znufrii Jan 29, 14:17 2
        
        It's a Canadian perspective - arts funding has been a big political issue here this past year -- nm - Roger More Jan 29, 14:19 1
        
        Interesting. I think it would be a fasinating exercise to compare arts funding - znufrii Jan 29, 14:23
        
        That's because you're an artist. -- nm - TWuG Jan 29, 14:06 3
        
        so therefore any input I have on the matter can be dismissed out of hand on the assumption that I'm only arguing in my own self interest. gotcha. -- nm - znufrii Jan 29, 14:10 2
        
        awww, z, buck up, buddy. I discount your input for a myriad of reasons. -- nm - TFox Jan 29, 14:12 1
        
        :P -- nm - znufrii Jan 29, 14:14
        
        One that needs to be more self-sustaining during the times when the government can't afford to do it for them. -- nm - David Jan 29, 14:06
        
        Yes, I imagine most artists feel that way. -- nm - TFox Jan 29, 14:06
    - I'm more interested in people not losing their houses. Practicality matters. -- nm - David Jan 29, 14:03 5
      - artists need houses too, you know. -- nm - znufrii Jan 29, 14:04 2
        
        Artists can just imagine houses, and then live in those. -- nm - TFox Jan 29, 14:05 1
        
        If it works for pixie ... -- nm - Beryllium Jan 29, 14:06
      - So am I, but I'm also guessing the funds for arts are a drop in the bucket for the economy but life or death for the industry. -- nm - Max Jan 29, 14:04 1
        
        This is probably true. -- nm - TFox Jan 29, 14:04
- yes -- nm - oblique Jan 29, 14:00
- yes. -- nm - znufrii Jan 29, 13:59

The one I reject a lot is people say, "Well, you know what, 'Stuff White People Like' should be on the list of 'Stuff White People Like.' " -- (link) - TFox Jan 29, 13:55
You learn something every day. I'm a Chicken Little? Interesting. - nubby Jan 29, 13:54 2
- Careful before I put something else in your mouth. - Subversive Jan 29, 14:05
- on these kind of change issues, yes, I feel that way. -- nm - Reagen Jan 29, 14:04
Look at the logos for the Dharma stations. Does that look like morse code to you? -- (link) - Mop Jan 29, 13:50 6
- I love that a Wiki is truly the best way to organize information from this show -- nm - oblique Jan 29, 13:57 1
  - It could be organized that way without being a wiki. But giving a lot of people the ability to edit means more content, more quickly compiled. -- nm - mara Jan 29, 13:59
- Reminds me of the I Ching. -- nm - mara Jan 29, 13:54
- Nope. It looks like the Korean flags. -- nm - psilotum Jan 29, 13:54 1
  - yep - see here -- (link) - Roger More Jan 29, 13:57

- Somewhere AlGore's crying... "There was, however, a logical explanation: Mr. Obama, who hates the cold, had cranked up the thermostat." - Ender Jan 29, 13:46 6
  - Yesterday, he was making fun of DC for shutting down schools, because he's from Chicago. hmmm. -- nm - loosilu Jan 29, 13:54 4
    - but just because he likes the warmth, doesn't mean he can't handle the cold ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 29, 13:56 3

- I don't understand what was wrong with your first reply... -- nm - kelly Jan 29, 13:37
- And what'd she say? -- nm - mara Jan 29, 13:36 1
  - she just laughed. they have to do stuff like that sometimes, too. We all get heat when stuff is worded "wrong." -- nm - JaxSean Jan 29, 14:09
- next time, reply-to: /dev/null -- nm - Beryllium Jan 29, 13:33
- Is it required for you to look at people's replies? - con_carne Jan 29, 13:33 1
  - It's sent out of a shared email box, so yes. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 29, 13:33
