They should consider putting one in the LA area. I think I remember hearing that if it where a country it would be the sixth largest economic country on earth. It definitely has a lot of people (with kids). They would rake! (25 years ago, 25-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)

They should put one in Arkansas. Nothing good ever comes about in this "armpit of America". That wouldn't make the world a better place, but it would make Arkansans a little happier (at least me). (25 years ago, 30-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)
