In a near by city, some men were upset with road condition, so they repaired them there selfs, this may be what you need do.

OK, Mike, good idea. I must find my pickax, it is somewhere in the garage, I am going to repaint and tidy it up this week anyway, so I will find it. I know I have a big piece of tar and a kettle to boil it, they remained after roof mending.

Next thing I hate in Poland is leaving dog crap behind by owners.

The law punishes it with heavy fines but people ignore it.

I noticed this guy didn't carry plastic bag (poop) and he should clean up after his dog's poop. In Illinois it is law for people who have dogs and they have to clean up after poops.

Yuck, I smell poops.

Yes, he should. But doesn`t. :'(

Yes, I saw notices in New York threatening dog owners with a fine of 100$ if they ignore the law. Have the fines risen since 1991?

I can`t. Women have better smell than men. I see it in my wife.

I also hate pollution traces. A renovated building retains good looks for a year or two. Later, its walls are smeared with pollution. Yuk!

But this is the way of the world and many places have it much worst. But Poland is full of great happy people, and HOT WOMEN, so overlook the bad things. And you don't have many czarny.

I don`t mean workmanship. I mean mud. Soil in southern Poland gets extremely muddy when wet. Practically, you would have to lay concrete on the whole surface in the city to get rid of it but it is impossible.

If you can`t change sth, you`d better accept it.
But I still suffer when i see it.

Bonobo,

I which country are you free of these things? Even in my very organised country I have seen lack of reparation of streets and sidewalks, mud and other things, in Belgium, France, the USA and other countries too. No society and no country is perfect. Maybe in Poland due to a Communist past of neglect and plan economy it takes many decades to do all the repair work which wasn't done in the 40 years of the peoples republic of Poland and shortly after that in the transformation period of the 'Shock therapy' of the Balcerowicz Plan (Polish: Plan Balcerowicza), a time of cut backs, privatizations and less public spending probably on infrastructure and reconstruction.

Yes, when I look around and see how much was f**ked up during communism and that it is going ot take decades to fix it, I again become a realist.

And there is balance.

Yes, when it comes to Poland, I am a perfectionist.

And I gravely regret the fact that due to headless orders to start the Rising, Warsaw was destroyed during WW2.

A nice interview, but he, not being a historian, tends to believe in and repeat certain myths about the Rising.

On the opposite, Bo. He is trying to break some communist-origined myths and stereotypes about the uprsing. These were sown so deep that even some otherwise patriotic and 'engaged' Poles got caught and started to believe and repeat them.
