Roger Waters from the Pink Floyd came to Israel and condemned the wall that protects Israel from Palestinian criminals. He is a famous rock star, singing over the 1982 fall of the Berlin Wall. That tremendous success has marked his mind forever, and he keeps searching for the new Berlin Wall to sing over. He has found it in Israel. Waters says:
You can see photographs of something like this, but until you've seen the actual edifice itself and seen what it's doing to these communities . . . It's hard to comprehend that they could be doing this.
" He wrote a graffiti on the wall: "No thought control". This Learning Engineer, who lives with his family at a stone throw distance from the wall, says: Waters, you sing well, but you are wrong. Who wants to control the thoughts of anybody? This wall has been built to keep out the savages and to allow me to live with some measure of safety. Why it is evil? Why it is controlling thought? Can you Waters imagine living in the same street with people who only thinks of killing you?

More burlesque than Berlin.

Burlesque is murderous. Look, Sophocles's The Clouds decribed Socrates as living in an illusory world, and he was condemned to death by 500 theater-goers.
That band leader should visit someplace that needs a wall, like Detroit. In fact, from what I've heard 8 mile road in Detroit is the de facto dividing line between White and Black Detroit. The only problem is the Whites there keep allowing the Plague to move north, maybe they need a wall.
Actually, now that I think about it, White Detroiters need to stop voting Democratic.
The Wall was a pretentious album. As far as I can tell it was all about thought control the spaced out guys were seeing in Britain. This was if you recall Margeret Thatcher's Britain and they were railing against her like all good leftists. Studying physics, cramming calculus, mugging Shakespeare, trying to be good at some craft was simply to do Margeret's bidding, better to spend your time railing against nonexistent restrictions. When it became expedient later, the shameless bastards, Waters included took credit for the fall of the Berlin Wall, when in all their of their existence they never sang a single song about freeing the East Europeans.
Ivan- you are 100% correct.
Well said.
