While many other countries have had Ministers of Art or Culture for centuries, the United States has not yet created such a position. Quincy Jones wants to change that and has started a petition asking President-Elect Obama to appoint a Secretary of the Arts. If you feel that the United States needs the Arts now more than ever, please take a moment to sign the petition.

Well I guess I would look at who is in that position and the choices they've made, and in doing so realize that it is more about the choices than the fact that the position exists.

As with all things in life, it is what you make of it that matters.
