A home office that has to have a retail division and a museum with a staff isn't financially responsible. The AMA is the only HOBBY ORGANIZATION I know of THAT HAS A LARGE PAID STAFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where is the financial responsibility in that? I'm sorry but I just can't believe the dues would drop if the AMA had more members since the larger checkbook would most likely lead to more extravagant spending,
