God bless pubic apathy (I almost thought it was a Canadian invention).

I suspect we still think you're all nuts...
I mean, you developed a republic
before the French - that takes imagination; and you guys seem to think it is treasonous to modify your constitution, even the
amendments, to your constitution. Lots of people dislike some of the private and public interference in foreign countries and are mystified at internal politics. But we've always liked the States (even when you elect strange politicians). The fact is that people really like most Americans as individuals and think America is a great country, if slightly unhinged at times. This is true almost everywhere.
But, back to the topic - we still don't know whose laws make buildings resist the laws of entropy and physics.
I wonder if this is a part of the reaction to the bombing of cultural targets (eg. By Germany during the war)?
