Can someone loan me a paragraph?

Yes, excellent point. Ditto to Greg.
The systemic issues our country facing our nation must take first priority.
Although it's one among many, Greg points out the big issue, imho.
Remember when the Soviet Union was described as, "A midget with a mighty right arm"?
The midget with the mighty right arm may make one hell of a piano player, but there's no money left to buy the piano.
They say music is math. Maybe it is a humanizing math.
Whatever the arts do, they play a vital role in promoting the health of a free and self governing society.
I think most modern, free societies recognize this and make the arts possible thru various policies.
However we do it, bringing the arts back into our schools and public places would be an enormous improvement across the board, imho.
