US NAVY will spend $600,000 to redesign its "SWASTIKA" Designed BLDG..  

Isn't it great to preserve the place? and the structure? i think it's really better to keep it. I dunno. I'm not from US but i think it's a waste of money, too.

Yes Errielle, they should have kept it as it is, while giving the people the why of their view, and what is behind the symbol really ;) And I am far from US too, being in Europe, The Netherlands, but here we have also "throwing of money for useless things, buildings taken down, re-building of stuff and what not.Same game as in the US, what Theprogrammer said in his reply.

hhaha it's really amusing to note that even countries in europe and the US have those kinds of impressions about these kinds of activities. :) i thought it's only true for developing countries or 3rd world countries. you are very rich countries. we're still under "struggling" countries. we have many reports on corruptions, sad to say. but for me, my country is still beautiful despite some peoples' activities. it's really sad for us that some foreign countries can see the bad activities of our country over the beautiful places it can offer. surely not as beautiful as your countries but still beautiful. If you come to our country, visit our beaches here. here's my blog http://onfooterrielle.blogspot.com/

hmmm... i thought those tactics work only in developing countries. i wonder which country has zero corruption rate. is there?

Nope, it works like this in the states (a major reason for the frivolous lawsuit mania of the 90s). I don't think there is a country on earth with zero corruption, just doesn't happen that way. Plus there are plenty of countries where the citizens act like spoiled, self-centered brats.

self-centered brats like in the US? in my opinion western countries are more concern with the national situation than countries in the other parts of the world. sometimes, it's also frustrating to know that some people are so pathetic that they don't care about what is going on with their country. That gives those in positions the chance to fool the people.
