Can't artists give a better argument than that? People don't expect the government to enhance their spirit and soul. I certainly don't. :p The government has little to no responsibility to music which is now more or less profit oriented. Heh! Can’t artists give a better argument than that?

I enjoyed reading this and totally agree with all that was said. I wish that the government would take a closer look at this funding even if you do not think they should. If they did there might not be as much violence out there. But then again you never really know. I do think if it were more readily available that more kids would be interested in learning those areas of the fine arts. - yes, i agree with you lalajean. i think that our government should focus on this one. and it is not bad to support it. they can provide funds that will help those children who would be interested on this. by lalajean on November 19th, 2007 12:56 am

We were all given talents and should be able to share those talents with others. There have been many things taken out of schools that should still be there, as we continue to remove spiritual things and not be able to use those gifts we are doing an injustice to everyone.

We do, however, have something called 'New Deal For Musicians' - but you have to have been unemployed for more than 6 months, and claiming benefits, to take advantage of it. Unfortunately that means people too proud to be unemployed long enough to do it end up working in dead end jobs, instead of getting a chance to do something they love.

I think that many kids are missing out on things that could keep them interested in more positive things. But the government and school systems do not seem to care about that. Which is really sad, thus the decrease in good musicians coming out today. Kids would be more willing to do things if we put music back in school.

Anything the government funds - it controls. What we need in this country is less government control. The larger government gets the smaller freedom gets... that's the way it's always been.. our country, as great as it is, is no different Here’s the deal — government should be funding fine arts programs…. the government should hardly be funding anything.
