Great observation from my brother, Douglas. So sadly true.

Here is a quote from the *mayor* of Boston with regards to the *governor* cutting funds for the *Boston* zoo."This is just another bad decision on budget cuts,” Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino told the Globe. “It's a great resource for the community. The zoo is an inexpensive place to spend a day in tough economic times."
So, let me rephrase what he is saying to make it crystal clear how he thinks..."This is just another bad decision on state budget cuts made by the governor of the state," Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino told the Globe. "The Boston zoo is a great resource for the Boston community (and not necessarily for the other residents of our state). The zoo (with state wide funds provided by the other residents of our fine state who never get the chance to enjoy our zoo) is an inexpensive place for Bostonians to spend a day in tough economic times (as long as it is paid for by the rest of the citizens of Mass. in these tough economic times, they don't deserve a break)."

Mind boggling, indeed. Thanks, Douglas!

Interesting.
The San Diego Zoo must not be state-funded. It ain't cheap!
I know that's disappointing for folks who can't swing the entrance fee, but if customers don't pay for it, someone else will. And in government, as we all know, that "someone else" is called citizens. Taxed citizens.
