Oh dear. Does that mean I'll get hated on Facebook without even being there?
It didn't get as much reaction as I thought, but what it did get was positive.

Today is the day on which the Berlin Wall has been down exactly as many days as it had been up. I can't really believe it, but the math tells us it's true.
The Wall came down without a single shot being fired. The calm and peaceful determination of the protesters; the (as I see it) moral decision by M.. Gorbachev not to provide armed back-up from the Red Army; and the lack of determination on the part of the ruling clique to go all-in (some have undoubtedly called it cowardice) made this possible. This is especially good luck as fve months before, the Chinese government had made precisely th opposite decision and got away with it.
A very, very happy day indeed.
