Six Flags Over America

Some libertarians have drooled for ages at the idea of selling off our National Parks.  Just the other day, Ron Paul mentioned selling the Grand Canyon.

Hey, I have an even better idea -- let's turn the whole damned place into an amusement park.  We can be theme park characters in our own country, kind of like a large-scale Williamsburg.  We can smile and say hi to the visitors. 

California can be Frontierland

Texas can be Adventureland

The original Thirteen Colonies can be Revolutionland! 

We'll have a theme for every one.  Then we can sell visits to our theme park at tons of money per visitor -- none of which we will receive, of course.  We're just peons, you know.  A bit like many of my ancestors were back in the UK.  We'll have come full circle.
