Did you see the piece on Canadian TV about the state of things between east and west Germany. They showed one family from eastern Germany. The father had been unemployed six years and was still drawing benefits. His main problem seemed to be dealing with boredom. His former job was with the Communist Party. His wife was a teacher on some sort of disability leave. She seemed young and healthy enough though. They lived in a three bedroom apartment with very nice appointments, including a piano and an elaborate sound system. They complained about not being able to afford piano lessons for their young ones and how disillusioned they were that some features of the Communist government had been done away with in the process of unification!
I was getting real wheepy for them. :^O
