Well, that's exactly why I am trying to add a way to show it.

I think there might be a little misunderstanding here.  I intend to add a 
button to the City dialog that will pop up another dialog which will display 
the detailed breakdown, so it really won't clutter up the City dialog except 
for the extra button.  And I believe you should be able do this in the City 
dialog as in Civ2.
If the sole purpose of the Attitude advisor is to show the citizen line and 
happiness breakdown, then it will not be essential once I add this dialog 
beacsue all that information will be easily available elsewhere.  So I 
respectfully disagree.
Mike
