History / Life in communism vs democracy in Poland [234]
Well, I certainly appreciate all the comments. I'm taking a class in college and I need to interview someone from Poland. I thought getting a couple viewpoints would be more interesting. I live in Northern Michigan and have never lived anywhere else (sheltered life). While my schooling taught me that communism was bad, I think (from my biased teachings) that communism offers more security than democracy does and wondered if people who lived under communism ever had that feeling. See, now in my little world Vodka is never mentioned as a major player in history. :) I'll have to make sure I use that. I appreciate more comments if you have them. Now these communist flats-are they still communist flats or are they privetaly owned now and just built during the communist years?
