I've got nothing against privately funded art.. even if my personal opinion of "The Gates" by that whacky Christo bunch looks more like barriers for a highway construction project. But I seem to recall a bunch of whining about the privately funded festivities at President Bush' second inuaugural (cheaper still than Clinton's second). I just wonder if some of the same whiners who boo-hooed about the party in Washington were among the artsy crowd who showed up to coo at this "marvel." Wouldn't the $20 million for this "art" buy alot of vaccines, clothes and blankets for Tsunami victims?
