Talk About Your Bridge to Nowhere!

Hey! How about a blog post to celebrate the brilliance of the human mind? Enough about the idiots that govern the world societies. Here is something that indicates that there is hope and that there are creative minds to overcome any obstacle.

I recently ran across these two engineering marvels. The first is the Monitor Merrimack Memorial Bridge Tunnel (MMMBT). I was looking for this image -> but thought that it was for the bridge/tunnel that connects Denmark with Sweden. The MMMBT is right here in the USA.

Below is the bridge that I was looking for. Built to accommodate the large ships that use this straight and still allow for auto travel, this is truly an engineering wonder. The Oresund Bridge was opened in July of 2000 and is the longest border connecting bridge in the world. To give you an idea of the marvelous design, I've included this satellite image.
With brilliant minds like the ones that design these concrete and steel structures to keep mankind connected, why can't we solve the relationship problems of our world? Do greed and power always have to overcome common sense and good judgment? If money is the root of all kinds of evil and absolute power corrupts absolutely, can't we do away with absolute power and find a way to take care of ourselves and our neighbors without the greed?

Just a thought.
