As TL pointed out, there isn't that much money devoted to it so the vast amount of art must be supporting itself.
I know it wouldnīt work MagiK. But wouldnīt it be great if it did? But censorship already exists.

Still I donīt believe it is censorship. If you donīt get the funding you want, no one is telling you you canīt do it. They only tell you you have to get the funding by your own means, i.e. get a job. No one will be forbidden to show a piece of art. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Edit: MagiK, the subject if this thread is hilarious. I donīt know if you thought of it while posting the poll but "Congress spending tax dollars". Isnīt that what they are there for? [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]
