Good. Everyone has to pitch in. Some sacrifices will be needed.

So stop your whining already

*********************

The first group to "pitch in" should be the GOP controlled congress and
the GOP controlled presidency. There is no shortage of money for the
things that they, or their special interest contributors, find
important. We little people would sacrifice more readily if there were
*any* sign of fiscal restraint in Washington DC. What we hear is,
"Government spending is taking off like a rocket, Bush isn't using his
veto power on anything....oh, but the stuff that the average American
citizen finds important? That's being cut out so that the record
setting spending can be concentrated in certain specific areas designed
to benefit some very specific groups, companies, and industries."

That "whining" is called freedom of speech. You may be against that,
and as a non-boater you would certainly be watching from the wall if
you ever visited the site in question. If they implement my suggestion
and charge all the tourists $5 a head, I'm sure that if you came to
Seattle you'd want to pay at least $10 so you would be "pitching in."
