As I said, I became an economist because I would not have made a good artist. Hmmmm.....have I been a good economist?

Ray, I became an economist because I wanted to know how the "system" works. Economics brought me part of the way. arthur From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ray Harrell Sent: Saturday, February 18, 2012 3:46 PM To: 'RE-DESIGNING WORK, INCOME DISTRIBUTION, EDUCATION' Subject: Re: [Futurework] Hey, you don't have to marry the guy! Why - go back to school - and develop the instrument that you have left and gave up. That's what. Otherwise we have no common ground upon which to build our conversation except as Indians.:>)) I went back and studied economics and what I found was superstition and the kind of orthodoxy I get talking to a Jesuit. Not much talking going on. I came here. Take up your brush and get to work. You have a lot to make up for.

Economists have a sense of the arts, Ray, even if not a very good one. When I was a teenager back in the ice age, I dropped out of highschool to become the world's greatest artist. I even spent a year at an art school where I learned that my talent was minor compared to that of some of my classmates. What to do about it? Why go back to school and become an economist.

What is the world coming to? Music and Art education as a constitutional right? Their saying that this is the system that works better than all others at bringing children of poverty out of poverty and developing their minds. Sounds like Walter Benjamin and the Vienna Circle before Hitler destroyed them. But the most interesting comment in this article was hidden. The Founder of the system was an .............................................economist!!!! Good heavens! An economist who made the Arts work in many different governments? Are there different breeds of economists? Did we only get the tone deaf ones here? How come?
