"Where can you go as an adult for $30 and see ancient Egyptian artifacts that are valued at over $650 million?," said Norman. "It is unfortunate that museums can't be free anymore, but those are the economics."

I could say the same about health care...

Fellow Freepers:

I come to you today with hat in hat. I need your help. You see, I am only $10.00 away from being able to prove that I am a direct descendant of King Tutankhamen and that the treasures that have been held hostage for years by the Egyptian government actually belong to me. Of course, with your generous help, I can claim these treasures and share them with the folks here at FreeRepublic. Donations are being accepted at the address below. Bless you.
