Price of Viewing

Although the aim of the new Scripps Aquarium is “to attract people who wish to learn more about the oceans,” it’s clear that only people with lots of money need apply.

It’s a disgrace for a UCSD facility, which is supported by tax dollars, to institute an admission charge of $6.50 for adults and $3.50 for children.

It’s just another example of the elitist, exclusionary policy sweeping the country. If you don’t have money, you don’t count. I choose not to support that policy. I, for one will be happy to stay away.
