Unless you or someone you know well live in a place all you know is what makes the news. We rarely make the news except for horrible things because...republicans.
In spite of it all Brownback tried to eliminate all of the humanities from the state. People worked harder to preserve them. Even republicans, the moderate republicans (how they vote is a mystery to me) because they know that our humanities define us in all of our cultures and their glory (or not). We beat it, we beat a governor who tried to rid us of all of those things and we still have a vibrant community in the state.
Thank you. You should know that being a Dem in this state is hard enough. We got pounded when we thought we were good, pounded. They are taking a wrecking ball to us and...AND Brownback is back and his nasty little pal Kobach and there is still one evil Koch brother here who sits in the capitol building when voting occurs. We were their first victims before we even knew about it and we remain a victim of them. We are doomed I fear but the arts will remain, we do it even if there is no pay in it because our souls, just like every liberal state, depend on it.
