bwahahahaha @ cia data and "therealcuba.com"
please mofo's get off yer asses, get a ticket to canada and take a flight to cuba. Check out Habana proper or even better, go to Holguin.
Trust me when I say to you, you will reject that propaganda crap you've been eating for years in teh USA in regards to what Cuba is about it's people etc etc.
The american government hates cuba and yeah, Castro is an ass, but he's soon gone.
Good stuff abounds there, seriously. I would take living in Cuba over living in hundreds of places in the states.
the differnece between you and me some of you boys is that I been there, you ain't and ergo, your propaganda websites don't mean anything in the big scheme.
seriously, go there. Do you know why you're not allowe dto go as americans? not because you will be hurt or taken hostage, but because you'll see how good things are in a country that is supposed to be evil. You are sold a ton of lies about cuba and russia as well on an almost daily basis.
try to awaken, even if only for a minute to turn off the alarm before you go back to sleep. :)
Yet the questions remain; if it's so great over there why do people risk their lives to flee it? And why did Castro's own daughter flee Cuba?
If it's so good, why are people not beating down the doors to get over there? All those Hollywood idiots who swore to leave the US if Bush was elected President could have renounced their citizenship and went to Cuba. Notice they all stayed here.....:rolleyes:
Speaking of the USSR, Stalin's daughter fled there to come to the US.
Communism....People are DYING to escape it. ;)
I certainly agree that Cuba is not as bad as people make it out to be (largely due to funds from Hugo Chavez, look into the Cuban economy in the 1990's and it's a completely different story), but it's not actually that good either. Raul Castro is not going to usher in change either, unfortunately. Cuba is a beautiful island, with much potential. Fidel Castro did do some positive things (forgiving doctors tuitions if they serve the rural poor in Cuba or abroad in other countries like Guatamala, Ecuador, etc).
Things will be better for ALL CUBANS when the cuban market opens up a bit. A highly state controlled economy DOES NOT WORK! Look at the growth China experienced after allowing some privatizaiton! Look at North Korea and Cuba (minus Venezuelan oil money).
If you think Cuba is comparable to North Korea, you're dead wrong.
If you think Cuba is paradise, you're dead wrong.
I think everybody has their black or white perception goggles on. It's really a much more gray thing.

Except in Amerika...in this country we are racing to embrace it......the founding Fathers must be spinning in thier graves fast enough to effect the moons orbit....
Curious, do you think you sound cute when you spell America that way?Quote:
Except in Amerika...
BTW- How many founding fathers have you researched?
Have you ever read the Bill of Rights, the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence or the Federalist Papers?
Though, I agree the icons who forged this country may not like or agree with certain elements of what they may now see, but they also would be amazingly proud of what this nation has growin into, of what their seeds have grown into.
I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain.

This one is sad too.

Plus,
Let us just skip over the fact that Cuba has been involved with terrorism in a number of respects since Castro took power.
Black Jack, I think it's nice how enthusiastically patriotic you are and all, but I think it's blinding you to the over all direction this Nation is heading.
We are like the frog slowly coming to a boil. Only instead of hot water it's one more intrusive law here, one more there, happening over and over agian. It's in the push to socialize medicine and cameras on Suburban roads in areas where there are no crimes (IE rt 47 and Galena) in Sugar Grove), not to mention the wide spread use of them in Chicago. You see it in the near constant pressure for more and more gun control.
You need to wake up because this country has gotten off on the wrong exit and needs to hurry up and find the freeway again before it ends up in the worst part of a really dangerous neighborhood. If we don't, by the time we realize where we are, and where we went wrong, we will have been carjacked and be bleeding by the curb while our SUV is heading for the Chop shop.

Does it matter? They get routinely trampled today. They might as well have never been written the way things are going. That is one reason why Ron Paul has so many supporters...because he wants to return to a time when the constitution was respected.
