I hope we&#39;re not off topic for the group. If we should stop this <br/>
discussion, please say so.<br/>
<br/>
&gt; so my question for me & for you guys or anyone is<br/>
&gt; why dont we just leave them all there where they belong<br/>
&gt; rather than so willfully remaining under their influence<br/>
<br/>
Well ... for people who grew up and lived part of their live with it, <br/>
like me, the wall was a &quot;normality&quot;, and when it came down, the <br/>
changes were fascinating. The whole story of how it came to be, how <br/>
it was constructed, and how it fell, teaches us a lot of things about <br/>
how history through the ages is intertwined, and how little things <br/>
can have big effects. If I hadn&#39;t grown up here, I know I&#39;d still be <br/>
fascinated about the geographic details and the madness of some of <br/>
them. No bad feelings there at all, just memories and pondering about <br/>
a bizarre reality that once was but is no more.<br/>
<br/>
Just speaking for myself, but I guess there are others who feel <br/>
similarly.<br/>
