Even Cavemen Cared About Art...
House Republicans Propose Cuts for Public Broadcasting, Arts and Humanities
It's estimated that the oldest cave paintings are 32,000 years old. Art has been making our lives bearable for a long time. It rises us up above our knuckles, quite literally. It's something divine, products of imagination that spark imagination. That gives comfort and solace, inspiration, invigoration, something to lift us up above a desperate, mundane existence. Otherwise, we really might as well be in a desert, dry-mouthed and parched, crawling, searching for shade and scratching for a few drips of water...
So, are we to devolve into what? Hillbilly shoot-outs at the O.K.-Fucking-Corral and Nascar?
Even cavemen cared about art, bishes... Even cavemen.
