A few million keeps one of the best orchestra's in the world solvent.
Music can be made largely without government funding. Why do other arts need my taxpayer money?
Look at the cost of the US war in Iraq, over one TRILLION dollars. Talk about a waste.

CDs at Wal-Mart before listening to the orchestra.
Should you be ashamed about that? Of course not. So be it.
If I am black and I am proud, why won't you be proud to be
cannon fodder for the trailer parks galore?

Modern art is, like, mmmhhh... like the UEFA cup: a
chance for the losers to win something while the real
teams battle in the Champions League.
That is painting and drawing as we know it, Spock? 😉

Unless you accept to receive links to my movies
in a gesture of reciprocity. My real name is Ron
Jeremy, by the way.
Edit. Anyway, why is it so important for you that
random strangers in a chess website know that you
are a very intellectual and refined person?

The Philly orchestra is world renowned. For it to be put into extinction for the sake of a few mill from the govnt is a joke; considering in the warfare Sonhouse mentions billions of tax payers' money has gone into making bunker marks in the ground by missiles aimed at nothing and doing nothing other than trying to portray power.
'twill be a sad day if the Philly goes down. 🙁
