I'd love a copy of this poster. I think it's great that it was drawn by someone who only had a vague idea of what Seattle looks like.

When that image was first loading (and loading, and loading... damn you dialup!!), I suddenly remember The Wave (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wave_%28book%29), a freaky experimentation with Nazi propaganda.

Obviously it wasn't the same thing.

Dig that poster though. Taken from a book cover I assume? It's very retro. Actually, given the price of the book, it may *be* retro.

Retro, indeed. 1979.

"...is the result of three years of intensive investigation into the questions of dam safety, radioactive wasets, and the various regulatory agencies in the U.S. and Canada responsibile for both"

Pshaw! Obviously he was just engaging in doomsday scenarios... When has a dam or a levee EVER broken in the U.S. due to improper safety measures by the government?? Hn? Hah? Eh?

What the hell?

It's an all-too graphic picture of a possible catastrophe. Can't you read?

BTW, I typed "catashtropher" because I'm so used to typing "christopher."

The skyline has the correct buildings, but they're all in the wrong places. I love it.

I also like the little people trying to get out of the broken monorail. It's so true-to-life. (see usericon)
