Crimes against humanities

"The economic downturn is having a dramatic and deleterious effect on historical societies, libraries, museums and other cultural institutions around the country. A combination of plunging endowments, reduced grant and foundation support, and budget cuts on the federal, state and local levels has led to job losses, service cuts, and outright closures from coast to coast." There's more.

And with Democrats hunting down the "rich" to hound them at every turn--health "reform," cap and trade--destroying the people who create jobs, and inviting the unions to a job summit, we can expect even more institutions that depend on donations and charity to struggle, cut hours, or close.
