PUBLIC BROADCASTING UNDER ATTACK + ARTIST RIGHTS IN A FREE COUNTRY



*
Of course, so is health care, the polar bear and the future of food.  While billions march for the freedom Democracy is said to promise, we just sold the controlling share of our infamous betting casino -the stock market- to a German firm.  Well, what isn't under attack!  With our history of slavery, the flu season the worst we've seen in decades, and the storms of Winter not over yet, we aught to be pretty hardened to these scenarios.

Culture
 a powerful human tool for survival, but it is a fragile phenomenon.  It is constantly changing and easily lost because it exists only in our minds.

With help for the helpless gone too, and human rights all over the globe a low priority on many lists, we might do worse than to lose a little culture and news.  So far, we still have access via the internet and the pony express.
Why be alarmed?

I'm just an artist, and I know my priorities are not sacrosanct. 
Are yours?
