The only problem I have with the NEA is I'm being forced to pay for something I don't want. I don't care if you make a painting of the Virgin Mary out of elephant poo or put Jesus in a jar of your own piss but I do care if I'm forced upon pain of imprisonment to pay for it. I will never understand the "Greater Good" argument and the "Tragedy of the Commons" argument is just stupid in this case. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piss_Christ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piss_Christ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Ofili http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Ofili EDIT: The Virgin Mary painting was not, according to wiki, paid for by the NEA.
