i didn't answer because i didn't think your question interesting. i still don't. not only do i think it uninteresting, but it's also a threadjack. this thread is not about what you do or do not consider to be art. the thread is about the problem of an "economic recovery" that's producing no jobs to speak of. the issue here is not whether you, ace, can come up with some nitwit argument about nascar that you imagine provokes some fantasy "snooty liberals" but rather whether there are any coherent state responses to the "jobless recovery" and whether it makes sense to perhaps include funding for "the creative classes" about which there's been alot of blah blah blah generated in non-profit land as ways to potentially persuade state outlets to fund them---in ways that may or may not have any actual impact on the lives of working artists. frequently the money that goes into "art" non-profits goes mostly to fund the non-profit itself, so much depends on the exact entity. anyway, that is the topic of the thread ace.
if you want to pursue your "provocative question" about nascar, start another thread.
