I've learned in life that the rules apply differently to me ... guess I'm a special spirit. <<Over the years I have heard a lot of great ideas for World Showcase: Denmark, Costa Rica, Russia, Israel... the list is really impressive.>> Yep it is. Although I'm kind of glad WED never built the Iran pavilion it designed in the mid-70s. <<So why haven't they been built?

Regarding that UK project, has anyone found Branson's phone number yet? Socrates "The unexamined life is not worth living."
