Who said some bastard organization can decide the new seven wonders of the world and put what they find fitting to vote?! Who are they?! What are the credentials of this bunch of adventurers?!
As Takeda said, who voted the Eiffel over the Notre Dame? Because one symbolizes the glorious new future of the machine-men versus the reactionary useless Church?
What's wrong with the old 7 Wonders anyway?!

The "New7Wonders Foundation" was created in 2001 by Swiss adventurer Bernard Weber, with a mission to protect humankind's heritage across the globe

If one wants to protect humankind's heritage across the globe, one must not forget of such heritage, forgetting about the 7 Wonders and starting to worship New 7 Wonders - now with improved flavours! Mint, and Fresh Mint! Buy 3 and take 4! Only this week for 19,99! Don't miss this opportunity! - is a disservice to the project.
This Swiss is nuts, or isn't trying hard enough. Well, I suppose "adventurers" aren't the primary keepers of humankind's heritage, i expect too much, I must lower my standards and accept his mediocrity, who else will protect humankind's heritage afterall?

The final round of voting for the New 7 Wonders will continue throughout 2006 and half of 2007. Then, on July 7, 2007 -07.07.07, the dream of the N7W initiators will become a reality as the globe joins together to celebrate the New 7 Wonders of the World, as chosen by the world's population using modern communications technology.
You can join the N7W Society now. Become an official part of this dynamic community and support this historic project.

I fear when dreams become reality, hell is full of good intentions, I believe dreams belong to their realm and reality to another, dreams can be the door of the subconcious mind, if you interpret them wrongly, or in other words, if you dream wrong, you'll wake up wishing to assassinate your mother. Now look at the sickening historical determinism: "the globe joins together to celebrate the New 7 Wonders of the World, as chosen by the world's population using modern communications technology." - look how impressive the machine-men have become! We now have modern communications technology! Our choice must be better, it's legitimized by the global population! And it uses modern communications technology, did I mentioned that already? - "You can join the N7W Society now. Become an official part of this dynamic community and support this historic project." - the project to end all projects! Today we make history! A new step for mankind, turn the old page, no, rip it off, it doesn't matter anymore, we are writing the new page, the next step, we create, we know the future, we decide the future.
"... be a part of the making of history !" - No thanks.
