are you breaking the 4th wall in the current story arc to celebrate the fall of this wall?!
A wonderful day for many that was.

No, not really. But it’s a nice coincidence.
Coincidence*. 😉
I was there. I was young, but I was there. Not many american-continent people can say that :3 I remember the sound of the picks on the wall, this constant rhythmic ringing.
i’ve got to admit…it was a truly great day when that wall came down. let’s hope it never has to go back up again.
Congratulation to the anniversary. Our communism has fallen just a couple of days afther the Wall – I still remember those days full of hope and scent of liberty. As someone who had lived about 100m far away from the barbed-wire fence of the Iron Curtain between Czechoslovakia and Austria for some period of his life, I am unspeakably happy for what happened in those bold and special days.
The comunism AND capitalism are the wrong solution to the same problem.
The wall was one of many ,wrong,sad said solutions…
Fourth Wall? I blew that picture up 400% and couldn’t find Woo anywhere. Or Sandra. Or Waldo, for that matter… ;-P
(Novil, google “Where’s Waldo?” – He goes by Wally in UK)
Chochi: The wall was wrong, Communism and Socialism put it up so the ‘elite class’ wouldn’t lose all their slave labor, despite all the glorious lies they told to keep them there. That part we can agree on.
But the principles of capitalism and representative democracy is a large part of the reason why it got knocked down. Responsible capitalism is good, when the average citizen can look forward to a better life driven by the fruits of their own labor. Representative democracy means everyone has a say in what happens to all in a fair and open process. It’s not perfect (nothing ever is) but it’s a darned sight better than the alternatives.
My homeroom teacher was a foreign-exchange student in Germany when this wall fell, and she was there. She actually has some pieces of it, too.
I’m glad that the wall fell and I think it is awesome that you commemerated it here. Especially with the coincidence of breaking the 4th wall ^_^

Freiheit Tag – eine gute Tagesleistung
I was old enough to remember – I was back in college after returning from five years and three months on active duty in the United States Navy. A wonderful day that I cheered.
My parents would often tell me how the streets in the eastern half were too much like those in ussr, and the western side – much cleaner and safer than they were used to, haha.
