it's sad, but I think if you removed the /sarcasm you'd sum up most teabaggers, republicans, christians, helicopter parents or any combination of the above. Basically anyone intolerant/ignorant.
There are lots of orchestras who would do this for free. Hell I'm a cellist and I'd have been glad to be a part of that. It'd actually be a value to me.

Considering the amount of regulatory capture to go with people being so lazy as to not even attempt to understand the issue they are legislating,
I'd rather most legislators found people who knew what they were doing.
This is an issue so direct that the public is pretty much not oblivious to it at all.
