: Brecht didn't kill himself.

Don: I misunderstood what you meant when you said "where he ended his life".

: And whether or not East Germany was "horrid' is a personal decision, isn't iut?

Don: No, it's a fact.

:The east Germans are now beginning to regret their folly in moving towards capitalism in 1990, and are voting for teh Party of Democratic Socialsim, the party of Honecker and Wolf, in response. I wish them good luck.

Don: It is hard for those who have known nothing but communism to enter the real world. It will take them a very long time to get their act together, no doubt.

: You would rather live in Markus Woilf's East Germany than in Suharto's Indonesia, or D'Aubuisson's El Salvador, or the colonels' Brazil, wouldn't you? I think most people probably would.
