As a non-profit, it should not be the function of AIS to make money.
Beyond a reasonable safety margin (bank balance for emergencies), the money
taken in by AIS should closely match its operating expenses (shades of
Harry Byrd, eh Anner?). AIS exists to serve its members at the lowest
possible cost to those members. When institutions fail to recall what they
were created for, they begin to exist only to perpetuate themselves, and
need revolutionary change (Another Virginian: "The tree of Liberty must be
from time to time manured by the blood of Patriots...")

Well, from seeing his movies we know which choice he took! Hop down to
your video emporium and check out "The Ruling Class" sometime.
Speak for yourself, Walter, I AM cranky today.
