First, while I don't have figures at my fingertips, it seems highly
unlikely that MOMA earns $250 million in its store (though I wish it
did). Second, using museum-l as a venue to attack museums as irrelevant
and elitist hardly seems an efficient way of gaining sympathy for the
artists' cause. Third, I wonder whether the poster feels that Congress
should reverse itself and allow NEA grants to individual artists, even
at a time when "schools are in a state of imminent collapse."
