Do you really want funding for the ARTS? But you really have to be SPECIFIC. Art is so broad and wide not to mention it opens too many doors.

Ordinary art is just art by itself. You just drop a bag of clothes outside your locker is an art for those whose knowledge of art kept them left behind of what truly is ART > in the truest sense of it. Garbage is not an art to me, excuse me. Garbage is dirt and should be dumped never to be seen. It should be burned and most of all be forgotten that it ever exist.

ART for me is about orderly arrange of things. No clutter or whatsoever. It is the very foundation why human beings have a very sturdy structural human skeletons for us to move, stand straight or walk. Our human brain is the same way. It was made or created by God in "orderly fashion." It was not manipulated. It was created artistically, mentally, psychologically for you to think rationally and to think that you are super human beings capable of thinking, reasoning and have the so called control of your existence. Once your rational thinking becomes impaired the human body gave way to the many irrational behaviour that others wont be able to comprehend nor accept. Others wont be able to accept anyhow because their sense of perceptions were also out of bounds and out of reason.

So please don't throw your rage and garbage on my site or else you'll receive my wrath. See > me, being rational giving you the warning.

Why the government has problem funding the ARTS? As I stated before it's too much for them to open doors to:

History
Economics
Fine Arts
Martial Arts
Drawing, Painting, Sketching
Fashion, Design, sewing
Graphic Arts
Photography, Cinematography, Film making
Video, Visual arts
Literature, Liberal arts
Dance, Ballet, Modern jazz, contemporary
Performance arts, opera
Culinary, cooking, baking
Calligraphy
Handicrafts, Weaving Dyeing
Pottery
Language
Flower arrangement (ikebana, origami), bonsai
Sculpture, woodcarving
Poetry
Silkscreen, T-shirt printing, flag making

All the ARTS mentioned above required big amount of capital. Unless of course you have benefactor for those I mentioned who made donations of materials for those creative works.
Some schools and universities received donations from generous donors. Only then that they can able to move and function. Only then they can have the result that they want for their arts. However if you can sell what you have produced then that's another wise story. You call that a part of the school's curriculum but also you establish a business sense that your product has made money. That's the best part of knowing creativity equals financial gain.

Thinking whether the government will help finance the ARTS when they have too much trouble selling the H1N1 flu vaccine. Think that it was Hana M. they were talking about. Yeah people they are full of semantics! Politics! Politics!!

Actually that's a formula for 1% Hydrogen + 1% Nitrogen so that YOU CAN ALL GROW UP! YES YOU CAN!
