Jim Mork asked how I thought greater Minnesotans were being asked to 
subsidize art for Minneapolis.  The most obvious is the bonding money that is 
being sought from the state - all taxpayers - for the Gurthrie.  I know the 
argument that the Gurthrie is a state resource, but most people still look at 
it as a Minneapolis institution.  

My real point was that I think sometimes Minneapolitans tend to get a little 
insulated in their thinking - sometimes it devolves into a "poor me" syndrome 
and go out of their way to antagonize the very constituencies that should be 
our allies in fighting problems.
