Of course you could play AH with little "X"s instead of art.

We have done that already. It was called Airwarrior. :)

The statement made earlier that many of the most famous Renaissance artists were "subsidized" by popes and emperors overlooks one important fact:  those artists had already established themselves as people of real talent in the private sector.  Popes and emperors did not hire artistic bums;  they wanted only the best.  Pop art would not have appealed to them:  that's why Michaelangelo was chosen to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and not Michel Tortellini.

Yet they were subsidized.  It is not the subsidy that is the problem but the taste of those who issue subsidies.
Taste is not censorship, it is sound judgement.

Tortellini was known more for his pasta than his art.

Was Leonardo Da Vinci really that important

davinci was FAR more than an artist, he was also one of the greatest scientists of all time for his era, i mean without him, we'd probably be set back 1-2 decades in science give or take

I'm sure Lazs, Ripsnort and Holden along with several others here would be doing backflips to eliminate all art endowments and channel the money straight to Halliburton.

RIAA/MPAA are strongly driving the notion of eliminating all art from the society through oppressive licensing and destroying fair use.

You, sir, are a piece of work.  Not sure if its art though.

I guess you didn't read my posts supporting art endowments in this thread.

RPM..  I do backflips any time that the government gets smaller and spends less money on anything but the courts and the defense. 

I don't think the government knows what I should spend my money on for art or..  who does know.   since there are enough morons with cash to subsidize rap with their allowance and taco bell money..   I am sure the more legit art has no problem.
