The futuristic looking library will be completed in 2011.

Well that's silly, it doesn't fit with the overall area of the city.

Yes, this is where the smurfs are commies country. The opinion of gays should be thrown in jail shows up there on the radio. South Dakota isn't George McGovern country anymore. lol Although everybody listens to this liberal Rush Limbaugh type talk show host up there, so the battle ground of opinions is popping up there. Anywhere but South Dakota is fine in the Mountain West. Most of the area is run by Democrats surprisingly.

Wyoming- Democrat Gov
Montana- Democrat Gov, both senators are Democrats, Montana House and Senate Democrat
North Dakota- both Senators are democrats
Colorado- has become liberal land
New Mexico- Democratic Govenor
Arizona- Democrat Gov
Kansas- Democrat Gov

In 10 years or so Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Montana, Colorado will be considered Blue States. Baby boomers aren't retiring to Florida. They're retiring to Montana, Wyoming etc. (those are the fastest growing states for retired peoples).

  Most butt-ugly structure I've ever seen and it won the approval to get it done? What an eyesore!

I think it's kinda funky.....but as props for Alice in Wonderland....not the city library.  Isn't part of good architecture, in designing to enhance or harmonize with the landscape ?  It would be a great addition to Disneyland.

Europe's in a deconstructionist mode these days when it comes to something 'cutting edge'. Although Seattle's Public Library aka the tool box fits into this category/style.

Then again, it could just be post-aesthetic.

I don't see how that could be the case, I associate that with brutalism.
