From Anthony Agondonter's Youtube profile:

"American men are correct in giving up on American women and going for the Asians, Latinas, and the European women. American men are tired of working their butts off to please the impossibly insatiable American girl. They are all twisted, so just eave them all to their lesbian girlfriends (who can't please them either)!"

Cally and Susan:
I tend to think any sort of 'artist' is born, rather than bred. It is innate to their very nature, and thus, inherent to their very being -- and no amount of dollars thrown at them will change this.
I understand the argument about trying to foster this in kids, I just question how effective it really is.
Let alone the regressive nature of the tax, and how effectively those dollars are being spent.
All my favorite artists, in whatever genre' , tend to be un-professionally schooled - so perhaps my view is tainted there, but Tarentino and Fassbinder never went to film school.
How about all the important authors and painters that never had any sort of formal art training?
Just throwing money at 'Art' don't make it happen, nor even make a more refined view of it, in my opinion.

THC from Cannabis smoke is instantaneously absorbed into the lungs. Second hand smoke from weed contains no THC, however, side stream smoke from burning herb, does. It's not unreasonable for people to smoke in public parks, irrespective of ill conceived ordnances, provided that nobody is nearby when they light up. Passersby can just keep their distance. What's rude is when smokers ignite combustible materials adjacent to where people already are, first.
