I hope each country gets what it needs. And about Chezkoslovakia...I ended up at a trade exhibition there just after the wall came down. I was amazed at what they could do under communism...imagine what they could do with more flexibility and resources...they built things solid...and pretty and clever...it was like a country of engineers and mechanics maybe...everything looked extremely well designed and like it was built to last 100 years...also they were the healthiest looking people I had seen in Europe...maybe just those at the fair, who seemed to only eat sausage and beer. mg
