Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

You do. Aren't' taxes great? Who funds things like this? ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/G3yNNKN9/image.png)

Who funds things like this? I can only assume that it's funded by the National Endowment for the Arts. IOW, tax money. Some of the pure crap that they fund under the name of 'art' is a disgrace. It's about $150 mill out of our pockets every year.

I would rather see it spent that cool sculpture than the worthless wind farm in the background. probably cost less than one windmill and last longer

If you had read the link, you'd know that the wind sculpture is in England and it's only 10 feet tall. So not one dime of your tax money went into it.
You are correct in your outrage that any tax money is spent on useless stuff like dubious "art" however.

If you read the whole article it says Award-winning architects Mike Tonkin and Anna Liu are the brains behind this gorgeous sound sculpture. In 2007, the Singing Ringing Tree won the National Award of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) for architectural excellence. And in March 2017 a second Singing Ringing Tree was built on the outskirts of Austin, Texas in the USA. This was constructed in the rural area of a small town known as Manor.

Is it me or is( it’s meme time) going down the tube? You have the eternal option of: A) Not viewing B) Not whining
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
