Well, maybe the idiot has some of his history right. Right up to the point of the beginning of the 1st world war, Poland was one of the richest countries in the world. That's not true any longer of course, largely due to wars, invasion, occupation and .... communism being enforced by Russian 'protectors' placed in charge after world war 2 by the allies (who then complained about communism for the next 40 years). Still, financially, the country is making a pretty good comeback. Things look like they're going the way they did in Ireland a few years ago. Life is good, cheap, and most of all, fun.
