Images of walls on borders always do something to make me angry, like that image of the wall on the beach. "Who the hell are you to divide people like this?" It's a symbol of arrogance and fear and hatred and all other sorts of things that human beings should not have attached to them. Walls between roads are fine, walls that serve purpose are fine, but walls intended to prevent me from traveling freely and doing as I like? Fuck them, even if they serve for my "defense". Also, the leaning tower read was interesting to think about. "Now, we have this tower about to fall over, so we need to stop it, but we can't totally fix it or else the tower will stop being interesting."
