I mean come on, is there anything more American than this?
- Reshaping nature to your desire by submerging thousands of acres of pristine ozark forest behind a giant dam
- Building houses along your newly created lake
- Filling said lake with gas guzzling boats
- Driving said boats .5 miles to the nearest cove where you tie up to other boats and blast country music and pound light domestic lager
IMO George, Thomas, John and Benjamin would all have their own house around the 8 mile marker.
