So everyone is out celebrating the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of Communism and the advent of Democracy and peace and unification and love and such...the world is a nicer place..

but.. there's a wall up around two small towns in Spain to keep ' undesirable' impoverished Africans from sneaking into the EU..okay,so no biggie..
but, there's the US with its wall across America to stop the Mexicans.. cost is running about $ 4 million a mile ..hasn't done much to stop guns going south and drugs coming north.. but..well, it ain't finished..

and then there's Israel.. with the biggest, baddest, most electronically monitored, electrified and scrutinized wall ever!..


funny that these walls are all in Democracies where freedom and liberty are the watchwords of society...

well, it struck me as a bit odd....

Rocketeer the Berlin Wall seperated one Country the US Border seperates two Countries big difference.

Hmmm....tall fences make better neighbors. Better yet, taller fences, with broken glass cemented on top make for better neighbors.

I for one like having the border fence down here. Well worth the money. At least I can see where the money got spent this time.

Don't forget that little one in China.

Ought to have one along the 49th parallel considering that burning of the White House thing spoiling Dolly's dinner and all...couldn't have that happen to Michelle.

Well, there is that subtle difference of building walls to keep people out versus keeping people in.....

But, why quibble over little things like that....

More than 2,200 people have been killed in Juarez Mexico this year ( what? No News Show about that???? ) and everybody with a brain is moving out of El Paso Texas as well as many other border cities. Pro-immigration freaks can sing all the sobby stuff they want, but no wall can stop an investor from bailing out of a sunken ship. Nobody owes anybody anything. Remember that.

Really,my fence just tries to keep my dogs in.
