Golgafrincham was a planet, once home to the Great Circling Poets of Arium. The descendants of these poets made up tales of impending doom about the planet. The tales varied; some said it was going to crash into the sun, or the moon was going to crash into the planet. Others said the planet was to be invaded by twelve-foot piranha bees and still others said it was in danger of being eaten by an enormous mutant star-goat.

These tales of impending doom allowed the Golgafrinchans to rid themselves of an entire useless third of their population. The story was that they would build three Ark ships. Into the A ship would go all the leaders, scientists and other high achievers. The C ship would contain all the people who made things and did things, and the B ark would hold everyone else, such as hairdressers and telephone sanitisers.

They sent the B ship off first, but of course the other two-thirds of the population stayed on the planet and lived full, rich and happy lives until they were all wiped out by a virulent disease contracted from a dirty telephone.

Artist to the B ship, please!

Okay, okay.  You all are laughing now, but you just wait.  You're going to have to live without seeing things like a crucifix submerged in urine, or some chick shoot a banana out of her vag.  THEN, you'll appreciate artists.

This. Artists go on strike? The only thing it will accomplish is to maybe show them the difference between things that are expendible and things that aren't. I think they'll be surprised when they realize which side of that isle they are actually on.

i admire good art as much as the next guy. But art is a luxury.

He intends it to be. Where he makes his mistake is in his implicit assumption that the arts should be important to the majority of Americans.

Art is inevitable...which is what makes artists unessential. The fool fails to realize that.

Back in my younger days, there was an old codger at a place I worked, who liked to drop an occasional pearl of wisdom to the younger employees.

One of those was "Never give management a solid opportunity to see just what they have to do to get by without you."

Well I guess you are only punishing the cultured Hillary supporters with your strike, not only did they loose the election they will be deprived of your edgy statements on the human condition or some such tripe. I'm waiting for all these Hillary shill celebs to strike next because I won't miss Miley Cyrus's farting in the microphone or Seth Meyer's asinine banter either.

Pssshht.  If you can't see that not doing art is art unto itself then you obviously are an uncultured heathen who had no idea what art is.

Just more fear and hate mongering from our friends on the left. They were however kind enough to ask me to complete a survey for feedback. I left them this:

"I am deeply disturbed by the rhetoric espouged by some of your authors. It makes little use of facts and largely caters to fear and hate mongering. The news media should be fact based and objective instead of focusing on political hit pieces. If the Guardian continues this trend it will consign itself to being fake news like many other MSM outlets."
