Fantastic!!

Cutting the arts programs is the elevation of ignorance to an art form in our state....

It's very well known and documented that studies of the arts advances ALL other endeavors above and beyond the perceived "cost".  That's why we can't have that continue here!

But we need that money for more prisons!   You know, job creators...

I love it.  Dumb down education, you fill prisons.  You fill prisons and you create a bunch of $12 an hour jobs to watch the uneducated criminals.

This folks, is the Oklahoma economy in a nutshell.

Well that and craptastic retail development.

Not too bad...  Sober is my favorite Tool song...would like to see those kids do that.


Your kids do anything artistic?  I have a mixed bag - I got nothing, but most of the kids are loaded with talent.  In large part thanks to the public schools - band, art class, etc!!

Sober, such a complex song.  As a drummer, it's incredibly nuanced.  Toughest song I ever had to try and cover.

You all sound like Obama.  

Instead of building more prisons (killing terrorists) Need better education and arts programs to have a better economy and keep kids from growing up and becoming criminals (terrorists).  

Arts programs for criminals?

All we need are more little kids plinking and singing away and not more prisons to lock up horrible criminals that hurt others?  Hogwash!

I know nothing about that...due to previously mentioned lack of artistic talent...

I just kinda like the song.  The video is full of strange sh$$.... Have talked about building a basement along the lines of old Frankenstein movies - some of that stuff might make it into the mix.  But SWMBO just isn't quite on board with it all yet....  She is a good little Baptist girl that I have been trying to corrupt to my ways.


Grandkids give the "open jaw" reaction when I mention it.  Didn't really want them to listen to it when they were young just because of some of the rough edges, but they are all old now, too, so go for it.

Good!!  That is fantastic, no matter what school they are in.  I took private music lessons as a kid, and really wished I had kept it up.  No inherent talent, though.

The whole RWRE argument/rant/stupidity about this is typical of those who follow their philosophy.  The sound bites about just killing ISIS now without regard for the history and background and making changes in the way we do things just keeps us mired in the muck.  Good for the weapons merchants.  Bad for children and other living creatures!
