There was an article with photo showing a huge and horrible looking mass of lines and cables strung around utility poles in some town in China or India. Mayor got totally pissed at so many poles of all these ugly cables he ordered city crews to tear them all down to beautify the city streets. Result was town was delivered to the Sixth century.

Their comment about the tower in Stockholm:
"A telephone tower in Stockholm, Sweden, with 5000 connected lines. It was used between 1887 and 1913, but the tower stood there until 1953, when it fell down after a fire."

All I can think about reading this is the sorry fate of the Salton Riviera, it's as if nothing was learned.

post apocalyptic much? wait, the one in Orlando's still going...

And if God wants a themepark, why does he need tax incentives from Caesar ?

"economic collapse"?!
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Why, Dubai's economy is so healthy that people just leave their Ferraris sitting on the street when they get bored with them.
Dubai's a fucking economic miracle, the laws of gravity (or karma) do not apply.
