Political Implications Aside - These are Beautiful Pictures of World Expo 2010 (Shanghai)
Well you certainly puts your 2 cents worth in about the anti-US countries, but it is my understanding that the whole point of an Expo is to unite not divide the countries of the world. That doesn't make it right what they do, but it certainly doesn't help to bash them either. The pictures were posted as works of Architectural Art and I believe should be viewed as such. Since when does a "Science" Magazine get involved with Politics anyway?
how much u wanna bet they dont hand out prizes at the amusement park...
