Scamper is pushing a conservative agenda. He knows nothing of what the speaker is talking about, about Islam or anything in the Middle East. i.e. he doesn't know a Shiite from Shinola.

Scamper, What about children of working-class families, in public school districts that cut their art and music funding? They do, in fact, need government funds to do these things - they need adequate libraries, and after-school programs where they can go and learn to do art and expand their minds. Whether you realize it or not, keeping alive imaginations (and in doing so, keeping at-risk youth out of trouble) is absolutely vital to the well-being of the nation and of the world.

yeah... because you need government funds to think or paint...
Give me a break. Maybe what we need is less government, less property taxes... then you could spend more free time on art and imagination.
