Before making a good or bad determination I'd first want to know where the money came from.

Those who are willing to be the most ruthless always win. The pacifists always lose, because the anti-pacifists kill them.
Inside each person lives two wolves. One is loyal, kind, respectful, humble and open to the mystery of life. The other is greedy, jealous, hateful, afraid and blind to the wonders of life. They are in battle for your spirit. The one who wins is the one you feed.
Well now I don't feel as bad, from the CNN article:
Backers have raised more than $65 million, according to The Associated Press. Most of the funding has come from corporate donors including Tommy Hilfiger and General Motors
The costs and land seem to be excessive, but if the excess is a result of private donations by people and or businesses that support a great man, and not appropriation of taxpayer money by a few individuals writing checks on someone else's account sorta speak, I have no issue with it.
