thanx
esthetically pleasing as well as rare to find an entity with a single
yet comprehensive multipoint
luxembourg is a world class exemplar
to stand on such an unusual point is to truly be in everyones land
at once
in relation to that entirety
nice idea to enshrine those who died having fun too
& at just such a universal place
multibravos
also you may of course point to what you dont like
but i think you & we will feel better if you point to what you do like
in fact i feel better already just pointing that out
