    The Almighty Market is no god for me, so I think there are lots more risks and stakes than financial. That's basic Christian theology. 2000 years since the birth of Christ and the advent of God's presence, and we're still building Pigeon Forge?
    That the market may serve those with the means to have a financial stake, I too can take as granted. That this thinking is what gives us Dixie Stampede is what makes me embarrassed .
