Art kills crime. Never mistake the arts for frivolous. They are the cornerstone of democracy.

Fun fact: a program called "Shakespeare Behind Bars" helps inmates put on the classics. The recidivism rate among participants? 6%. The recidivism rate in the general population? 68%.

We do not know how to empathize and build the world without the arts. It's downfall is why democracy is in free fall. If you want to save it, put the arts first. Every zip code should have full time artists.
