Entry: Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Yalies Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/mamas_dont_let_your_babies_grow_up_to_be_yalies#23810 Post contents: Tom: Thanks for the informative, yet saddening, post. For the past 100 years or more our arts have degenerated into the sad state of affairs that we have today. It used to be that the arts had a secondary function, other than "art for art's sake," such as beautifying churches or homes, glorifying God or religious stories, and depicting historical narratives and European heroes. In America's consumer-driven culture, however, the arts are relegated to tax-payer funded foundations run by the post-Marxist left. It is no surprise that they produce such offensive drivel. But anyone COULD engage in artistic projects. Religious leaders today build massive churches (seating 5,000 - 10,000 people), which resemble a cross between an arena and sports bar. Why not build aesthetically pleasing structures and hire artists to beautify them? Have we become so crass? Sent at: 2008 11 23
