If you go to Berlin, you can still buy a piece...It's like 5 bucks for a piece the size of a quarter.
and for like 4000$ you can buy like a two foot by two foot piece. It's sort of ridiculous.
After living in Berlin awhile, I can't tell you what kind of impact that wall had on life. I lived in the East and it was a whole 'nother world from the West.

Overall, though, it's the bigness of the car that counts the most. Because when something bad happens in a really big car – accidentally speeding through the middle of a gang of unruly young people who have been taunting you in a drive-in restaurant, for instance – it happens very far away – way out at the end of your fenders. It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
