- bhb916 14y agoThe best part of that is that every drop of that kickstarter money was voluntary. That is to say that the donors gave their money up willfully without the application of compulsive force. The same cannot be said about the NEA. Regardless, the article hints at the primary problem with the replacement suggestion: this would effectively replace the current, centralized, political decision making with a distributed form of decision making. I don't see that happening anytime soon.
