Controversy Over Tax Funds for Arts Agency

Your editorial was pure baloney. If “artists” Tim Miller, Karen Finley, Holly Hughes, and John Fleck want to prove that there is an artistic market for human feces, urine and blasphemy, let them prove it with their own money. The people who are paying, the taxpayers, have every right to restrict such foolishness through their representatives.

Don’t kid yourself, man. The “small but vocal coalition” you refer to is really the mainstream. The real weirdos are those artists who want complete freedom, supported by me and other taxpayers, without regard to any notion of decency.
