Every tax is a pay cut.  Every tax cut is a pay raise. Citizens for Limited Taxation

On August 18, 2002, I visited the Danforth Museum for the first time.  My friends told me I would be dissapointed.  I actually came out more dissapointed than I would have expected.  It was a very hot day and the museum does not have air conditioning.  There was one "excellent" painting in the entire museum.  It is titled "A Village Funeral in Brittany", by Charles Sprague Pearce.  The rest of the museum seemed worthless, especially the one room dedicated to ceramic logs.  Who would waste their life making ceramic logs? If I only had one life to live, let me live it as someone who makes ceramic logs. On September 11, 2011, I visited the Danforth again. After the ceramic logs display, I thought that there might be room for improvement and it could only get better. I was wrong. Now they have a display of women recovering from breast cancer surgery showing their titties all sewn together. Not nice, and certainly not anything close to art. I personally thought that I've seen better art from elementary and middle school students posted on mall walls.  Children like bright colors and cheerful things.  These are more pleasing to the eyes. The town paid $400,000 to replace all the windows in the Danforth Museum building and now there is a rumor that the building might be replaced.  Clearly, with poor ticket sales, we will never get a return on investment (ROI) on that money. The Callahan Senior center was attached to it, and it also houses an art school and the Framingham Amatuer Radio club.  Note the antennas on the top of the building.  I have no idea of what is on the third floor of the building. The building might better serve as a homeless shelter for people who want to live in Framingham but can no longer afford it.
