Why Indeed?

Just after I posted the last item I noticed that someone had e-mailed me a link to this from HuffPo. Favorite quotes include:

"Why is it so hard for some to realize that jobs in the arts support millions of Americans and are no less worthy than any other job that puts food on the table?"

"To make matters worse, this week Senators stripped out a provision intended to provide the same job creating benefits for the film industry as the bill provides for other industries."

"In these times of economic crisis, it seems only rational that we should look back at our history to review what works if we want to create jobs and secure a strong economic legacy for future generations."

It's short but packed with good information.
