History / Anger at yet another Polish tragedy [30]
For many years now, I've expressed the opinion that the one thing Poles are terrible at is Promotional Relations (PR). Other groups have PR'd themselves into the best possible spot light but that aspect of self promotion seems to be almost non existent in Poland and Polonia.
There is much rich history, many battles, many heroes and lots of innovation that is unappreciated by the west. I've often heard other Poles state, "we know the truth" but does that matter if others don't know it? It may or may not but it's still important.
This recent tragedy is still not adequately spotlighted in the west. Todays Chicago Tribune
has it as story number three on page one. (The SunTimes has it as a cover story) and this is in Chicago(land) where the metropolitan area has about one million Poles out of nine million residents.
Unfortunately, the truth is not known but what is perceived as truth is so that's where PR is important. Work on it Poles!
Why does this continue to happen to our great nation? We already have arguably the most un-appreciated history and this crap keeps happening?
