Allow an old man to vent for a minute - The ramblings of a patriotic old fart.

[Arthur Dent]

I'm old enough to remember the day the Berlin Wall was torn down and seeing it happen live on tv. I can stilll remember walking past the German resteraunt down the block from me with all the reporters there interviewing the German immigrants who were havnig a huge party to celebrate the liberation of East Germany. All thanks to Ronald Reagan forcing the Soviet Union into an arms race they couldn't afford to pay for (well, that and losing the war in Afghanistan the year before). One of those proud moments where we could say the U.S. caused that!
