From "Mending Wall" by Robert Frost---

"Before I built a wall I'd ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out
And to whom I was like to give offense
Something there is that doesn't love a wall
That wants it down"

Thanks to Lawrence Tribe for reminding me of this poem in his tweet.

A wall for the sake of a wall....which seems to serve no real purpose other than satisfying some ancestral whim.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
