Wow, I actually agreee with you on something?
For all of these people having hard times they sure don't mind paying to get into the aquarium; we add about a million visitors every year (of course they are mostly out of state), but the same goes for the city museum I work at. I don't rake it in but no matter how the economy goes the fish still need to get fed.
My heart goes out to all of you feeling the pinch though, hopefully this won't go on forever
