Who is the strongest
Who is the best
Who holds the aces
The East
Or the West
This is the crap our children are learning
But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
~Roger Waters
Twenty years ago I was in Monterrey watching the evening news, they were talking about some nonsense, when a cable came from Berlin.
People were gathering around Brandenburger Tor.
The soldier were pointing their weapons at them.
The people were yelling Wir wollen raus! Wir bleiben hier! (We want out, we are staying here).
At 22:30, Berlin Time, The Wall was open.
People not longer have right to a free ride, to free food, to employment security.
But they have the right to pursue happiness.
And that is worth dying for.
