WHO NEEDS DISNEY?

Regarding Disney's America coming to Virginia: Disneyland is nothing more than a few rides and hundreds of souvenir shops. I visited Disney in California and in Florida and found myself staring at replicas on each coast.

Disney's America may bring some jobs to Virginia, but what about the cost to Virginians? What happened to ``Keep Virginia Green''?

Do we want our countryside devastated? Don't we have enough entertainment?
