i am a recent graduate of abraham lincoln high school. i am here on behalf of sf performance is to advocate for the sustained funding of the arts. we explored the realm of poetry in my english class but before we were able to analyze poetry, we had to learn that it takes many layers. it takes time and effort to understand what it meant and how the poet achieved it. but we also learned there is the opposite of poetry, and that, in general terms is television. where poetry takes time to uncover what it is saying, television gives instant gratification. instead of waiting to be rewarded, television gives you everything up front. not only did my teacher apply this to literature and poetry, but he also applied it to music. a lot of the music my generation listens to today is instant gratification and there is no depth to it. all they look for is something with a repetitive and beat which gets stuck in your head. most of these songs simply talk about drugs, sex, and getting lots of money to spend on drugs and sex. but there is the opposite of t

event in washington, people are always careful to stage it in front of the lincoln memorial with abraham lincoln sort of benignly looking down on them and the reflecting pool in the front. well, i grew up in the washington, d.c., and i'm now old enough to remember when i was a little boy there were still elderly women in washington, friends of my mother's, who still were not really very happy that the mall had been gummed up with a memorial to abraham lincoln. so we don't always, we don't always arrive at these consensuses instantly. but what interested me about the roosevelt memorial is that as with many monuments to historical figures, it really tells us almost as much about the times in which the memorial was made as about the subject of the memorial. and i think that's particularly true in fdr's case. my own opinion is that i don't know that -- i mean, i'm, as a great admirer of franklin roosevelt, i'm delighted that there is a memorial to him, and better the one there is than none, but i'm not a huge fan of the fdr memorial, and i don't know that it's really a memorial that he would
