Some here say the the Stassi started taking all the seat in church, which meant they were listening to the pastors preach about peace from the Bible, and that maybe they were converted enough not to shoot people.

So, people in my group are discussing the Berlin Wall and how all the young'ens don't know nothin' about it, and attributing the collapse of the Soviet Union to "Mr. Gorbachav, tear down this wall!"
