My brother-in-law recently returned from a trip there and he loved it. But he stayed at the Burj Al Arab and I'm pretty sure his trip didn't include a trip to the slums. As stated, I don't think is an example of a model society and the miracle of no taxes.

Quote:
there is no "mostly unique;" thats like saying "sometimes always," its an oxymoron - its either one or the other.


The result:
Quote:
By the mid-19th century unique had developed a wider meaning, “not typical, unusual,” and it is in this wider sense that it is compared. The comparison of so-called absolutes in senses that are not absolute is standard in all varieties of speech and writing.
