> Steven M Nelson > Willard Hay That is exactly what is happening. People are being given the choice at the neighborhood school forums to choose between math/ science or art / music. What use to be hand and glove is now one and none. The more our world leans towards high tech, the more partcipants step back into the arts. It is a balance that is needed for mankinds existence. I know some feel one can live by science /math alone but that world would be a void without creative beauty. The last time my taxes were raised...it was for schools and libraries. I believe in accountablity for both; but stripping of funds has got to stop, the control issue that is happening has got to stop, this high density building has got to stop and the free ride for developers has got to stop. Get our schools/libraries funded so they don't need to go and depend on fundraisers. Other than the loss of young lives killing each other, our school/library situation has gotten to be shameful . Of course, we can get PR to spin anything into a pretty picture. We are so literate with so many libraries...was it mentioned that they were closed. Let Sabri have a yard sale for his projects.
