There's still 2 months to go Davdah. Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Obama WILL make a comeback once people realise how much of a right wing nutter McPalin is.

I actually would have liked the words: "E PLURIBUS UNUM" on that structure. That would have been so cool and so befitting! Why didn't they ask me. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I agree Koller. Somehow it escaped everyone that the reason the Greek columns were there is because it was the Democratic Convention, not any other, and why? Because if republicans learned history (which they don't), they'd know democracy was born in Greece. Duh!
I haven't heard one person state that simple fact. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
IP,
"E PLURIBUS UNUM" is Latin meaning out of many, one. It is similar to Sen Obama's campaign slogan of being "a uniter, not a divider." Not your attempt to think a group you despise does not know history. However, by your post, you have shown complete contempt and ignorance of American Presidential history, American history in general, and world history.

It can all be lumped up into classical architecture The Greek and the Roman style is very much alike because the latter is based on the former and there is virtually no difference and if not called Roman it is called Greek revival.
As with the language, ancient greek, remained Greek, wheras the Latin evolved into Spanish, and most of all the other languages we know today.
I too consider it ignorant for the Repubs not to make the connection that the structure was to signal unification.

Not chickens Koller, Eagles! Looks like these two have hatched.
</div></BLOCKQUOTE>
In my defence, Davdah, it wasn't me that made the chicken reference. However, since we are making reference to birds - please be advised that the Eagal is on the endangerd list, so it is not wise to count their c h i c k s before they are hatched.

I have read where Republicans have criticized Obama's speech and the overall Democratic theme of being a uniting party, but not the structure either in this thread or in the news reports. So perhaps you might want to point where Republicans criticized structure part.
As for language, Latin evolved into only Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Romanian. Asian, Germanic, and African languages did not evolve from Latin.
Finally, Greek architecture did influence the Roman architecture, however, there were other reginoal influences as well.

The structure had nothing to do with unity and everything to do with self glorification. I'm surprised he didn't come out in a toga and gold crown. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
It looks to me you don't know what self-glorification is. How many times have we had to listen to McCain's POW-story. Here we have AAA self-glorification, or is it more to invoke the great sorry feeling among us? I don't feel sorry for accident victims, because accidents are caused by negligent people. This country already features a sorry-a ss president in the white house, we don't need another one.

There is a wee bit of a difference. With McCain he talks about what he did. Obama has nothing to talk about. It is an accident that someone gets captured? That's how you view it? Like a collision in the mall parking lot?
The two forms of building style only appear similar. The Romans made it a point to alter it enough to call it there own. Back then the column was an integral part of most architecture of significant size. The obabma stage didn't warrant columns of any size. It was done to make him appear something he isn't. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
