them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."

About the only good thing I can think of in all of this is that at the present I've been doing a lot of work providing components for an open source program called Theme Park Builder 3d. Which, when we get it working right should at least allow us to return to a virtual recreation of these lost pieces of history.

We are always looking for coders and 3d modelers; if your interested, check out the link above.
