Yeah. It's only "loot" if it's STOLEN, Terrence. Getting paid fairly for what you've EARNED thru hard work is another matter alltogether.> Date: Sat, 31 Jan 2009 17:21:17 -0500> From: smith at tennisamigo.com> To: neohiopal at listserve.com> Subject: [NEohioPAL] Keep Government out of the Arts> > The purpose of governments is to protect us from hostile nations and from> criminals and settle disputes in the courts. Keep the government out of> the arts, out of banks, out of autos, and out of our pockets.> > All this bailout stuff is just breeding the mentality of 'I want to get> part of the loot.'

Artists, male or female, must be paid according to the> market, not by voting for some legislation.> > Terry Smith> North Olmsted> _______________________________________> MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR CTC BENEFIT: Collectively Speaking ...
