Tear Down this wall

I had a disturbing discussion with someone on twitter this morning. They were talking about kids not understanding the losses of personal freedoms, about the pains of a totalitarian state. It reminded me, as most discussions of this subject do, of the now famous 1987 Ronald Regan Speech from the Berlin Wall. This Speech means things to me for many reasons, but mostly because I lived in Germany when it happened. I live there years later when the wall came down, and I visited East Germany and East Berlin while they were still East and West. Returns to these things scare me. Ignorance of these things scares me even more. Here is the link to the Speech that still brings me to tears, and the Youtube Video. Say what you about about Regan but he had the right idea here.
