Right on, Case!

Serrano's Piss Christ is actually a really fascinating image. It is provokative, personal, and there is a lot to discuss. It a beautiful photograph. I'm glad I helped to pay for part of his grant.

I'm a bit wary when governments get uppity about degenerate art. It has historically been bad.
And why should governments support the arts? Because they (images, text, drama, music) are our family pictures. You might not like the whole album, but when the house is burning down, its the stuff you race to save- its the stuff with meaning.
