See, and that's where I'm coming from. There's nothing in it for me to support ending funding for the CPB. I mean what does it really work out to? I recall the NEA worked out to $0.65 a person once upon a time. I doubt I'll see the penny a week increase in my paycheck.

Sure government funding is a clusterfvck, but until I have personal incentive otherwise, I've no deisre to sacrifice my own special interests. Why should I?
