Yes, Pigeon Forge is a prime example of the dangers of privatization... If this culture.menatlity had existed in the 50s we wouldn't have an interstate highway system... We would have hundreds of ill-thought-out toll roads that sometimes connect and other times don't...

Seems that lotta Repub governors are looking to selling off assests and parks in order to get a quick-fix for budgetary shortfalls...

Here in Virgina the Repub governor wnats to sell off thew ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control) stores which currently are producing $300M in profits for Virginia's government... He thinks the ABC store will fetch arounf $700M at auction... Hmmmmmm??? Doesn't take the Wes Ginny Slide Rule to tell ya that that just ain't smart 'cause in 2 years we'll be wondering where that $300M a year is going to come from... But nevermind them details...
