“The inter-locked warp technique is found among Paracas Necropolis fabrics and continued to be made until historic times, demonstrating how fixed in their tradition was a willingness to attempt the difficult. ”
Junius Bouton Bird, Curator of Archaeology at The
American Museum of Natural History – Andean Culture History – 1964

Did you ever notice the same people who get all huffy about someone else’s opinion, rushing to claim it is a flame are usually just angry because they lack the capability to logically or reasonably refute your opinion, instead they just decide you are evil because you disagree with them.

And yes this does reflect some rather boring email rants recieved today.

Make no mistake – before cable – I believed PBS was the best the NY area TV ad to offer.

And I always thought is was just stupid when tax code changes made it difficult for major Corporations to continue their support of the Arts, PBS, Museums and all the other worthwhile institutions that have suffered from the greed for the power of the purse by legislators at all levels.

And yes, it may well be true that PBS represents less than .00014 of the US Budget,

Still my daddy always like to quote founder Ben Franklin
“Watch the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves”

We really need to start with the small stuff, I don’t know maybe a law that only allows vacations paid for with tax dollars must be spent within the US.

Maybe if there were fewer to trips to Spain, Africa, Mexico, and apparently soon Brazil or Venzuela and of course – the cost fundraising travel – I would support moving those “savings” to PBS appropriations.

Just my opinion
