The Artist Robert Rauschenberg once used his mattress as art "subject object" by painting on it then hanging it on a gallery wall . More unusual than that in an era of the $20.00 Prostitute & $100.00 a a day Call Girl and the Apocalyptic "A" bomb the War in Viet Nam, it was sold. Now it hangs on a wall at tax payers expense.
Try doing that today and see what happens ...

Start with an open mind :
**************************************
Often any non perishable substance ( but any thing even cake ) once I was of the opinion
a guy with 13 kids and a happy life was art too. But now I don't think so there are not too
many people,that's not what I am getting at but living people are not art process or product,
art has no will of it's own or rights or sentient state or potential of reproducing. Art is not life although life is art some say .
Robert Rauschenberg
The following quote is by W. Somerset Maugham and
relates to one man's search and attainment of spiritual Enlightenment: "The man I am writing about is not famous.
It may be that he never will be. It may be that when his life
at last comes to an end he will leave no more trace of his sojourn on earth than a stone thrown into a river leaves
on the surface of the water. But it may be that the way of
life that he has chosen for himself and the peculiar strength and sweetness of his character may have an ever-growing influence over his fellow men so that, long after his death perhaps, it may be realized that there lived in this age a very remarkable creature."

Tired of the misdirection ?
All this talk about Big government spending ?
Wonder why Jesse helm can with meg-a media support
regularly flog his Antigay, Anti-National Endowment &
Anti-Welfare & School Bussing Pro Home School Rhetoric
but some how leave out the Gluttonous NASA & Military
Budget when complaining to his chorus of tong clicking
of chums ,Strom Thurmam ,Nute Gingrich Jerry Farewell ,
Bob Barr etc. of the "New South " "We throw too much
money at _______ without success the________ is just
not working!" .
If you ask me personally I feel this is the Real 3 Card
Monty of the gutter like linking Public School financing
tax system to property taxes ( States Rights Hua!?)
so the result is poorer inner-cities have less money to
spend thus a lame excuse for the disparity in the Urban
South Bronx over crowded & under funded in contrast
to the affluent Suburban schools like Danbury Connecut
or Scaridae Schools ( Wanna Trade ? ) annual education
budgets . No federal Universal Funding Equity on the
horizon likely... Native greed and class & race bias.
And don't forget the Whimsical thinly disguised
( moronic self defeating race based motive ) behind
"HOME "Schooling looks like it works out to be just like
the work around & loop holes of the fair housing & anti-discrimination act like Condo's & Co-ops do with there
secret Covenants & by laws ...
Now it's Condos Enclave Cities in Space so called
Colonies on Mars I say enough ! At least THINK
about the real cost is!
Do the math!
What is this all about ? Question Often any big issue ( Like the fictional Vampire ) is vulnerable to the light of day!
Ask any scientist ( evan your High school science teacher ) all of the
real questions about the American goals in space .
Many never question the most basic of the so called space
mission issues .
#1.
What is the total absolute number of human beings that will ever be able to live in "space or off planet ?
#2
What is the total amount in money fuel ,food what ever of the Innumerable materials required to maintain that life .
#3
How much time will it take to place our resources wherever ?
Based on Fuel and Weight costs what is the total cost of the maximum number of humans that can ever be deployed ( in any possible future )
in permanent habitat in living quarters off earth in outer space or on a
moon r a “ better planet ” ?
#4
What does that mean to majority of human beings left on earth
with less resources and no means of “escape”?
One answer is :
Number of human beings = 1000
Fuel cost = All available matter .
Time line = 100 years starting now!
So why did this space race continue even though most of the
word population
.
( 80 % live in poverty) when they could be fed housed educated and contributing if freed from debt ?
Why in deed?
