Inspired by
this exchange with
bravecows I was turning over the possibility of having a scene in a story where someone rants insanely about the Grand Canyon as a symbol of capitalism, because I thought that sounded so very silly... but then I thought that was so out-there that it wouldn't even be amusing. So, just for giggles, I stuck 'grand canyon' 'capitalism' into Google, just to see what I came up with, and the first hit was
a plan by the Cato Institute to sell the Grand Canyon to Disney. The article is only three months old.
