Core Competence?

The next G8 conference will be held in Heiligendamm, Germany this June. That's over in the east (psst...former east Germany...). Anyway, to provide extra security they are putting a fence - if that's what you can call a 8 and a half foot tall cement wall with barb wire on top - all around the town. Seven and a half miles of "fencing" to keep all those pesky protesters out. Can't have them throwing paint balls at the Kempinski hotel again. Anyway, at work we were joking about east Germany finally being able to show off their core competence! Who knows where this might lead, George may fall in love with it and the ossies (that's what we call East Germans) could be the ones to put up "fencing" along the Mexican border! There is something really, really bizarre about this story. But hey - you don't have to take my word...here's the link: http://www.spiegel.de/international/0,1518,457017,00.html
