Mark, While I agree with you that the Franklin and South Manchester is something to behold, Lets not generalize the NEA as just a group that supports crazy and offensive art projects. The NEA plays a vital role in supporting all Arts, including classical music, opera, jazz, theater, painters, sculptors and several other artists in different genres. They help to enrich the American landscape and help to define our culture. I know this all too well, as I am a professional classical musician. Public arts funding is vital in any non-profit arts organization. I am writing this not to argue with you, just to make everyone aware that 99% of the NEA money goes to good organizations to help enrich the lives of others. Unfortunately, one bad art demonstration several years ago has turned many people off on the NEA, and since then many steps have been taken to make the organization prove that this is in the best interest for his or her community. Also, several steps have been taken to change the image of the NEA. Now back to the Franklin and South Manchester........I can look at these pictures for days!!!! David
