Wow, what a great idea- this is a fine compliment to the Gun-Free Theme Parks, such as the "killing fields" in Cambodia.
Isn't there a special needs program for liberals yet?

Will a slum theme park satisfy Liberal guilt ?
By Jack Ward
It had to happen. Liberal guilt finally caused the creation of a third world slum theme park. Yes on June 3 former president Jimmy Carter, dedicated the slum theme park in Americus, Georgia. Officially the park is called Global Village and Discovery Center.
No longer will guilt driven Liberals be restricted to local slums, now they can take the whole family to the ‘Third World Slum Theme Park’. Just imagine the excitement on the children’s faces. Instead of being forced to ride on state of the art thrill rides and eat cotton candy, the children can experience squalor up close and personal. It is unclear if ‘dumpster diving’ will replace the familiar concession stand, but even without these tasty treats the kids can see shacks made from tin, tarpaper, cardboard and cast-off timber. The difference between these shacks and the ones in your home town is these shacks were build by professionals to exacting standards. Your local shacks were built by the homeless and are actually occupied.
The shacks at the slum park were built strictly for shock value. Forget the low flow eco-toilet; the slum park features the age old privy hole. Forget the visual pollution from electrical and phone lines – they don’t exist. No gas guzzling SUVs, no redwood hot tubs, microwave ovens, or other evils of technology. The elimination of technology and the back to nature aspects of the slum park will thrill any radical environmentalist.
Currently there is so much excitement from the Liberal masses that expansion plans are already underway. The Third World Slum Theme Park now features 13 shacks but there are plans to build 22 more. The question is – will 35 shacks be enough to relieve Liberal guilt?
Rather that focus on poverty, the guilt laden Liberals should focus on getting people out of poverty. As I mentioned in an earlier missive, the UN knows why some countries become poor and stay poor. A report from the U.N. Development Program blames poverty on poor governance. For years the United Nations has skirted the real cause of poverty. It was always convenient and popular to blame the developed nations for the poverty in the developing nations. Likewise if poverty only exists in certain areas of a specific country - the local government policies should be reviewed.
It is almost a certainty that the poor will remain poor under socialism. In a free market, nothing stops the poor from creating a fortune. Therein lies the problem – when people are poor they are dependant. Free people can escape the liberal plantation.
But there is another reason that the undeveloped countries are poor. The radical environmentalists and their favorite project - Sustainable Development - is another major reason that these poor and undeveloped countries remain poor. The mantra of the Sustainable Development is that countries and individuals must restrict themselves only to activities that "meet the needs and aspirations of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs." For those that live in third world squalor this pronouncement means that their chance of escaping these conditions and improving their lifestyle is doubtful.
The poor in teeming slums of these Third World nations have the same desires for prosperity as everyone else but the environmental elitists that want to stifle their development. The poor would like to exchange their mud hut for a modern home, trade their donkey cart in for a car, and have access to electricity, safe water and other basics that the radical environmentalists take for granted.
But these elites argue that if the people in the third world are allowed to escape poverty the Earth Goddess, Gaia, will be damaged. The environmental elitists travel to these third world counties to promote their agenda. They discourage modern agriculture and building methods and encourage the primitive people to be satisfied in their poverty.
Don't fret about those that advocate Sustainable Development, they live in comfort. In their zeal to protect their precious birds, bugs, reptiles, rodents and weeds these radical environmentalists have sentenced the worlds poor to a life of poverty.
What the Left has failed to understand is that freedom and happiness can not be created by destroying individual rights; and prosperity can not be created by evading the laws of economics.
Socialism creates dependence while the free market is the best system for producing wealth and promoting prosperity.
The United States managed to amass unprecedented wealth while third world countries live in poverty. The blame for the poverty can not be assigned to these people, because those that move into free market environment prosper. The reason why the US has been able to amass great wealth is that rule of law is embedded in our values. History shows that where there's rule of law, human initiative and freedom flourishes.
It is obvious that poverty is the lack of wealth. But wealth must be produced and the single best requirement to produce wealth – is freedom. It is not a coincidence that the poorest countries also lack individual freedom. So rather than create a poverty theme park, those on the left should focus on what really causes poverty – Socialism.
