Half the hall has an opinion here and the other half pretends not to. I would rather hear from both.
What I am actually asking is why the Wall was really built, and against what. I think it will turn out to be simpler and sadder than the songs have it.
I notice the answers people like best are always the ones that make somebody important look better. That is not proof of anything, but it is a pattern.
It matters less than the harvest, and I will still be arguing about it at midwinter.
