For sure our current pres, a Yale graduate is a Connecticut born elite Yankee. I do have more respect for his dad than I do him.<BR/>My main concern is overpopulation. We have far more people on this planet than we have constructive work. Therefore they are all busy doing and making things for each other and waiting for a new body to serve. When population growth stops we will have a worse mess than we are now with the economic bubble doing its inhaling bit.<BR/>..<BR/>I can't really understand the negative attitudes against the NEA except that most of those wet blankets think it is government subsidy of which they are against any and all. Those persons don't visit the museums or art galleries very much either. Nor do they appreciate fine music or the like, again which uses their precious tax money for assistance and facilities.<BR/>Mostly (my guess and observation) they are against anything beginning with the word 'national' except in sports, i.e. NFL, NBA, NASCAR, NRA, etc.<BR/>..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.com
