What struck me was not only the gawdiness of it, but the ecological ramifications in building it, which frankly disgusted me and still does. I am glad it's fallen in a heap and the only glimmer of light in the whole thing, is the little reef that nature is building for itself there, although it's probably the same ocean animals that were uprooted from their own environment, when the island project began. The wise man built his house upon the rocks and the foolish man built his house upon the sand. Eat it, Dubai. Wealth doesn't mean you're entitled to destroy an ecosystem, for the sake of your own tacky vanity and ego.
