Without you D.C.

As much as I criticize the United States government, I know there should probably be a hand to keep the land in order. Not that I'm saying the make-up of mostly wealthy Caucasian males of whom are not representative of the economically, socially, and demographically diverse nation should have the final say in what and what not to do (and breath); but I am saying, it is a start. And, it's something.

Turning my attention to the Poles, they have proved to be resilient survivors of quite the catastrophic events in regards to political devastation. The Katyn massacre seems to be one of the most significant tests. Up to 21,000 of their well-educated and hard-working people were murdered what was thought to be the Germans but was later investigated to be the Soviets. Russia was their ally which would then make it hard for Poland to trust any country or republic.

Instead of crumbling, it's people took matter into their own hands as those from an array of different backgrounds opposed, voiced, and fought for a government that would be truly representative. After several years of construction, they finally got a final product, of course permeable to updates. The same people with the voices and the fight turned out to be the same ones holding office.

Yet again, another tragedy. Like the massacre, a lot of good, smart, hard-working people were killed, this time in a plane crash. No doubt, this country will rise again especially if played off of experience. Poland, you will find your government again and it will be stronger and better than ever.

It's unfortunate when a horrible event hurricanes the establishment. America has had it before with 9/11 and the financial crisis, even if both events may have been preventable.

The folks on Capital Hill are appreciated and it would be very tough to be without, but I hope sight is not lost over whom it's representing.
