National Icons

I read this piece on the the Sydney Opera House. I can just see we Canadians having a similar debate over the CN Tower at some point.

I think every nation needs some at least one man-made national icon. The problem is they are all getting old and things that get old, cost more to maintain. Of course, not maintaining the CN Tower might have somewhat more disastrous consequences, so there is a bit more incentive. According to the article it does seem like the plans for the Opera House are going way beyond maintenance, though.
