As the Happy Curmudgeon noted, Nov. 9th marked the 18th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Today is commonly called Veterans Day in the USA, but was once known more widely as Armistice Day.

Today, the “great” States still wield tremendous destructive power. However, perhaps more people have come to realize that such potential destruction has few, if any, positive uses. In the spirit of that idea I offer this great song and video for the holiday celebration:

My son was a baby when The Wall came down. My mother-in-law brought him a piece of it from her travels. Now I worry about a different State apparatus devouring him and his friends.
