Except I don't think the "elitist governmental body/panel" has to you know, government. It could be a scholarly panel, funded by voluntary contributions, like a private museum gets funding from voluntary contributors. The panel itself could itself be the result of voluteered hours. It doesn't NEED to be funded at gunpoint (by involuntary taxpayer funds).
My fear with private funding is that wealthy contributors could have an influence over what literature was subsidised. You might end up with a special preference for the works of Ayn Rand, for example. I agree the panel could be made up of passionate volunteers - that may be the most incorruptible system.
It's not personal. It's just war.

Public dollars don't make or break art. They simply make a wider variety accessible to the unwashed masses.
Yep, but my concern is not for the health of art, but the health of society. I think a society whose cultural treasures are easily accessible to everyone is healthier: more egalitarian, meritocratic and cohesive. Cultured, informed citizens rather than unwashed masses.

Seriously, do you have ANYTHING of substance to offer ?

Sure, but casting such pearls before you, is a waste of time.

So, this is now your thing, huh? Make inane, baseless comments or claims, and then run away, w/ out even the decency to bother to explain?
Meh.
Seriously, I have no idea what your 'deal' is, and why you even bother posting if you're not going to carry on a coherent thought or reply.

You mean, like the little version of reality that Huck presented, completely falsely, and made up a BS excuse for, which also turned out to be untrue?
Yeah, cuz only liberals lie.
You're such a lock stepping dimwit. It's adorable.

But nothing is stopping the unwashed masses from contributing too.
For example, science museums are wonderful, wonderful places. They sell annual memberships at relatively affordable rates ($100/family) so their kids can go as much as possible. Granted, that may not keep it afloat, together with charitable contributions from the rich, everything can work out.
My point is, just because we don't use "govt" doesn't mean we can't work together collectively, on a voluntary basis, for something worth sharing.

You're the one ignoring the Spacey distortion,and treatment by Matthews. What the HUckster does is completely irrelevant, and not of any significance to this story.
I am sore bored with the ever predictable " Yeah, but they do it too! " , knee jerk reaction from the Left. You can't defend it, so instead you try to equivocate, and play this asinine game of tit for tat, as if you need to keep score or something.
Deal with the issue, as it is, with OUT trying to act like a 4 year old, k ?

Rappy,
Why even post in the RWED? You constantly get your news media, and reality mixed up. You pick really nonsensical subjects to tackle, blow them up into major life or death matters(which they certainly are not). Your spell check may be a forgiving soul, but apparently you shunned it from your village. Just stop with the political stuff already. I'd be glad to talk to you about other RWED things no one has the answers to, like The Phoenix Lights. But I figure a thread like that will just invite the master Troll PN.
3 cheers for America my friend.
