Many Germans Want Berlin Wall Back, Study Finds

Survey SAID:

Nearly a quarter of western Germans and 12 percent of easterners want the Berlin Wall back -- more than 15 years after the fall of the barrier that split Germany during the Cold War, according to a new survey.

The results of the poll, published Saturday, reflected die-hard animosities over high reunification costs lowering western standards of living and economic turmoil in the east.

I suspect some people would like their respective security blankets back. For decades Southerners wanted slavery back. Lately Russians have wanted Stalin back. More than a few Germans may want Hitler back. What do such Family Feud-style surveys prove except that people like security blankets?
