This Wired News commentary (August 23, 2001), by Rafael Jesús González, captures the psychological undercurrents of growing up in a geopolitical flash-point: "Borders have always been a passionate topic, long before the first stone was ever laid for the Great Wall in China, but borders are a particularly hot topic in the age of "globalization," where nations (and the corporations, the powers behind them, or at least ours) talk of relaxing them. What they really mean, is making them more permeable, selectively permeable, of course."
