It's a crying shame that something, or someone, hasn't picked up the FSA
idea, and ran with it today.
Of course, the funding from the government is a major obstacle.... but there
is so much to record in America today. Not merely a re-visiting of the
places documented by the original FSA greats, but America, as found today. A
new century, a country on the edge of war, a changing society... where is an
FSA style of effort today?"

A great idea; can you imagine how politicized this kind of government
sponsorship would be today? And how p.c. the results would have to be to see
the light of day?
