Letter: Send Koreans the Experience

Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2003 | 9:22 a.m.

President George W. Bush has offered to give North Korea aid if they stop building nuclear weapons. Since Nevadans particularly understand the difficulties of a nuclear weapons development program, what can we do to help?

We can send the Korean communists the Fremont Street Experience!

This achievement of American taste and ingenuity will demonstrate both the merits of private capitalism, and enable the Koreans to laugh their way out of poverty by having fun, as well as show them that there is a compassionate way to alleviate starving homeless beggars with cheap, discount buffets. We can probably ship the whole Experience to Pyongyang for $7 million.
