Clay, if you're going to use the term "spot on", you're gonna have to start using "bum" also! You already said it once, so you might as well use it all the time now...

I think this dialogue (acting, sound, editing, etc.) definitely wins the CPod award for best produced...nice work! Now I will go shed a tear for Wang Wei....

Paulc, your last comment got me wondering what China's murder rate is, compared to the U.S.'s. These numbers are from 2005: U.S. population = 296,507,061 16,740 murders 1 murder per 17,712 people China population = 1,306,000,000 20,000 murders 1 per 65,300 people The U.S. murder rate was almost 4 times China's rate! But I guess that doesn't come as much of a shock.

It is sad but true. Most of his buildings were extremely expensive to construct, and more expensive to upkeep than most buildings. So the problem is that many of his buildings are "crumbling" because their owners can't afford the proper upkeep. A good example is Falling Water. Such an amazing example of FLW's genius...I'm not sure what it's current state is, but I hope it's finding the money it needs to maintain it. ADM, I've always wanted to go to Taliesin. How was it?

AZERDocMom, love the new avatar! You're right about FLW....and that could explain why many of his structures are falling apart ;)
