Disney's Footbridge Revisited
About six months ago, I wrote a post just trashing Disney's cutesy "footbridge" as a symbol of arrogance, old school thinking, and general Disneyfication Crap.
I think the time has come to admit that I too, can be a flip-flopper.
I've come to think that maybe, just maybe, I can appreciate the fact that they didn't build just a plain old stupid looking, but functional piece of concrete blah-ness. While I personally may not find it inspiring, nor maybe do the employees of Mouseschwitz, perhaps at the same time it's value lies more in what it is not, than what it is.
So that's as far as my retraction of hatred for the footbridge will go.
As a footnote, and in reference to the above "flip flopper" statement, it occurs to me that being a flip flopper is GOOD. That being a flip flopper means that you are not a total egalitarian who believes they're infallible enough in their thinking that they never need to change their minds about things.
It's good to change your mind about things if new information, or some retrospective allows one to do so. Just my two cents (which is worth considerably less than .02 Euro...).
