I don't like small buildings either.

But a very large portion of that "building" is just a facade. IMO, anything less than two towers standing at least 110 stories tall is nothing but a sign of surrender on the part of the spineless wusses that call themselves Americans. Political correctness seems to have metastasized into the very heart of our once proud society.

Here's a much better picture Frank. Now that's architecture.
