One
of four Wichita museums are to suffer a $100,000 cutback in funding
which may force it to close.
It is called Cowtown a tribute to the glory
days of white settler expansion and cattle.
A distant cry is heard from
the editorial board of the citys single daily newspaper, the Wichita
Eagle with the recent piece by Peter Brownlee, Why pick on Cowtown?
I beg the Dear Reader to indulge me with the following.
The
money cut from the museum is less than that used this election cycle as
seed money by the Koch billionaires to the state Chamber of Commerce in
legally influencing the state government. Little $500 or $1000 checks
to state legislators individual campaigns, systematically broadcast
each year as brome seed across the tiny Topeka state house, through PACs
and lobbyists are a better deal..
Common
parlance goes that after 50 years, if the museum cannot make a profit
- the motivation for all human culture and history according to thought
today - then the Cowtown museum must close, history be damned.
A
substantial number of elites in Wichita would prefer all to forget the
old wild west days, better to keep fluoride out of the water, and as
many legally armed as possible against each other. Better to keep
Wichitas teeming humanity willy nilly, befuddled, yapping and yelping
as a herd.. The easier to ride rough shod as Roustabout, pointing the
state politicians noses toward the limitless horizon of individual
wealth each election year.
No,
the Cowtown museum must go, lest the Wichita majority of minorities
learn of the early days of mob justice and the current elites
ancestral days when whore houses, cattle herds, railroad spurs, whiskey
and gunplay was the anarchy of the day.
The
public relation firms have determined contemporary Wichita fares better
in the profit at all cost image of self-righteous Jesus Christ armed
with an assault rifle proclaiming control over the free markets.
Kansans of the herd mentality are best left dull witted and ignorant of
ethereal matters like off shore tax havens, armies of tax shelter
lawyers, tax deductible charities and secretive annual government oil
subsidy checks.
Whatever
political Roustabout leads Kansans matter nothing to the top 1% so long
as the Judas goat leads from prairie to fattening feedlot to the
environmental slaughter house.
I'd
say the "profit at all cost" crowd is dispensing a particular poetic
and cultural message now, favoring the sound of the bullwhip crack over
the taxpayers than to spoiling them with universal health care, food
stamps or art filled niceties like the Cowtown museum.
It
is fashionable today among the Big Thinkers in Wichita and Topeka,
Kansas to not spoil the herd, but drive them quickly to market.
The
deficit at the Cowtown museum pales in comparison to the figure of tens
of millions donated by David Koch to build a wing at the distant New
York Met. I surmise the family has tens of thousands of acres sublet
from the Flint Hills south to Texas, just in case the Kansas herds of
humanity stampedes.
