Why now, why here?


What bothers me is the lack of English-language voice from larger Polish organizations that would stand up more frequently for the country. Is it really that difficult to monitor and comment on the current events - affecting Poland and Poles - in Poland and abroad? 

I find the blogging community to be most responsive when it comes to taking on subjects related to Polish community - or any subject, really. Newspapers and online portals do a decent job also. However, looking past the interests of certain groups and forces is a challenge for many. So why now and why here? Because blogging is great!

Why the great, yellow, technically advanced vehicle in the header? Because "FSO Syrena" (trans: mermaid)  was truly a great advancement of Polish engineering at the time. Built from ground up, it was a proof that Poles can do it even under communist rule. The point is, what we lack as a society, we gain as a nation.
