...possible casualty under this scenario would be the long, scenic routes that cross the country, serving small, remote towns--and losing millions of dollars. The only way such lines will survive in the long run, Heritage Foundation economist Ronald Utt argues, is to morph into entertainment and recreational offerings, as cruise ships have done...

But as recent history teaches, in the new cold war--between the Hollywood/Mickey D's axis and every other world culture--genuine cultural pride can morph into nationalism, racism and worse. To the world's musical rebels today, is the enemy within or without...
