"it will be the arts that save us"

I agree. For me, it is the love of the arts that truly makes us human. If we fight for the arts, we save ourselves, whether that be as individuals or as the human race collectively.

I am an engineer... The Invisible E. Engineers build the infrastructure to allow you to drink clean water, to drive to work, to eat cheap food, to go to a hospital... to post your thoughts here. But, without the arts, all that is left is survival and who would care to live in such a world? Not me.
