...were ever to reunite, then Germany would provide the benchmark of success. Just contrast America 100 years after the end of the Civil War with German progress of the last two decades. While Germany has its own racial and immigration problems with sporadic outbreaks of violence, they are nowhere near the magnitude of those in the U.S. The "wounds" seem to me to be healing much faster than you claim.

In this world, a retirement home is called "A Sad Place for Hopeless Old People"; a motel is "A Cheap Place to Have Intercourse with a Near Stranger."

Zombieland dropped a less-than-expected 39%; the surprise CGI-animation hit Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs slipped a mere 24% to inch near the $100 million mark; and the 3-D double bill of Pixar favorites Toy Story and Toy Story 2 fell 39%. The weekend should reach a cumulative $100 million. That will leave the box office 8% ahead of last year in revenue and 4% ahead in attendance, making movies...
