		<description>&lt;em&gt;as much as I love art/culture/etc. aren&#039;t those the first things to go when society collapses?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I guess we&#039;ll find in five years after peak oil and the collapse of law and order, on the smoldering ruins of Hennepin Avenue East, when you and I meet under the shadow of the burnt-out shell of Nye&#039;s and engage one another in a four-hour bout of hand-to-hand combat using sharpened sticks and rocks, furiously attempting to take possession of the lone surviving LP copy of LCD Soundsystem&#039;s &lt;em&gt;Sound of Silver&lt;/em&gt;, Wayne. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So see you then, my friend!</description>

&lt;br /&gt;
I don&#039;t know about this, but I&#039;m pretty sure than when the revolution happens, the first thing we&#039;re supposed to do is kill all the lawyers.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;And you know what? None of us did a thing to help keep it afloat...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I already mentioned I was a member, took classes, attended events and lectures and paid for use of the facility. That&#039;s several hundred dollars in the last 3 years alone. Your statement is a bit dramatic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When an organization dedicated to photography curates an exhibition of one local photographers lengthy career and exhibits the work on a flat screen monitor in a powerpoint slide show, something is deeply amiss. </description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;You can say &quot;Not enough of us...&quot; but you certainly can&#039;t say &quot;NONE OF US.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, you&#039;re right. Big assumption on my part, borne of my passion for the issue. Though I will add there&#039;s a big difference between taking advantage of or participating in an arts org and actively supporting it...</description>

&lt;br /&gt;
Hm. Don&#039;t know. &lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ve never lived in a society that&#039;s collapsed. Have you?</description>

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;And you know what? None of us did a thing to help keep it afloat...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
contradicts this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
...but this is a institution that, for nearly 20 years, served tens of thousands of people, put up hundreds of excellent shows, fostered the careers of numerous artistic geniuses, and rocked the world of hundreds of thousands of art loving visitors.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
