I don't know about you, but I sure am looking forward to a Starbucks on the Acropolis. Or how about that new McDonalds at Giza?

Yeah, go western civilization.

No one knows for sure who founded the ancient seat of power and then abandoned it around 600 A.D. The Aztecs later came upon it and named it Teotihuacan (The Place Where Men Become Gods).

How appropriate.

Or the McDonalds directly opposite the front door of the Pantheon.  Fortunately theres a nice fountain in the way so you can't see it if you stand in just the right place, but the trains (ala Everquest) of toursists toting the food and leaving the trash around are harder to ignore.

People suck. People in groups suck more. And people in big business suck the most.

That sum things up well enough?
