It is interesting that you say this, after telling me how Europe is socialist and all of the UK's problems are because we are socialists. In the UK, certainly when I was young, everyone was aware of politics so I am not sure what you are trying to say here (if anything, you might just be collecting words together). > My folks do have a memory > but they didn't have to fear their own government as much > as other countries because we had the Constitution to provide > the checks and balances. When did they have to over throw forced socialism, with the aid of the US Constitution? Interesting. > If we in the US aren't careful, that will end. You are throwing it away because of an imaginary fear. > What will be interesting is how Poland's basic rules > of society evolve over the decades.
