Chatting with a Warsaw resident.<\/p>\n

Me: <\/em>Does anyone look back to the days of Communism with longing – does anyone miss those days?<\/p>\n

Resident:<\/em> Oh yes, some do. Those who are not political may miss the security of the Communist era.<\/p>\n

Me:<\/em> Security?<\/p>\n

Resident: <\/em>Yes, you didn’t have to worry about where to live, you were given a job and were paid even if you didn’t do it well; health care was free.<\/p>\n

Me:<\/em> Do you think Communism will ever return to Poland?<\/p>\n

Resident:<\/em> – rolls eyes – I hope not.<\/p>\n
