WUI (Writing under the influence)

Somebody once said we are all Americans, sometimes born in the wrong places.
On a warm autumn day in 1986, while enjoying beer with my college buddies,
I decided to join my new homeland.

I've come to appreciate the ideals that helped create this great country.
Liberalism, political-correctness, multiculturalism and moral equivalence
are destroying it.

Pictures from Poland II (communism tour)

I took my children on a communism tour. I wanted to show them what people like Obama could do to make us all (equally) (un)happy.

This is where I lived since I was 1 until I left in 1997. A 46m2 (495ft2) apartment on 9th floor. The communists in charge thought this was adequate for a family of 4. When I lived there alone since high school, I thought it was too small to throw out a decent party. Is Barack Obama going to tell us that 495 sq. ft. apartments will become the way of the future in the US together with thermostats that he will set for us directly from the White House to 50 in winters and 80 in summers?

BTW, the building pictured just below was 800m long and at some point almost 10,000 people lived there, which was more than 4 per apartment because extended families had to live together due to lack (imagine that! something lacking in a socialist paradise!) of housing.

Also, the play area hasn't changed much in 20 years. In fact, there used to be a water pool, which since then has been replaced with a big sand box. There were almost no children playing. Maybe because they are were sitting in front of computers playing games...
