     "Professional sports draw about 6% of all television
     households (80,000,000 in the US times 2 .3 people per
     family and 1-2 hours per week per viewer. Are you
     saying that if people spent as much time in museums as
     they do with their TVs salaries would not be higher?"

     No, I didn't say that.  I said being upset about what
     superstars make, regardless of their field of endeavor,
     is not going to help.  Museums need to make people feel
     that they (museums) are a vital need if museum workers
     are to be valued enough to be paid high salaries.
