Cuba and the Elephants

Lets take an objective, non sentimental view. In the 60 years that the Castros have been in power: What has happened to the spanish speaking Central America and South American neighborhood?

Esto muerte. From Tierra del Fuego to Baja California over to Texas. For everything from cherries (from Chile, thank you) to cocaina (from Colombia & Peru. No, thank you).

The same occurs in the state and government. If in the conduct of its members merits exceed sins, justice reigns in that state or government, and if sins exceed merits, there reigns corruption.”

Excellent, thanks.

These are the ones who rebel with terrible strength against those who rob nations of their liberty, which is to rob men of their decorum. Embodied in those men are thousands of men, a whole people, human dignity.

I'm not as hopeful as you sadly. As the crushing power of government grows and consolidates there will be no place for men to regroup, no place to prepare. The serpent gathers to a head.

Only if I can drive an old Chevy

Actually I think Cuba is going to do very very well once it hits the open market. The question is will an internal cartel take all the money, or will everyone benefit?

C'mon, Pete. Be honest-you've been dreaming about those old American cars the Cuban's have been hoarding & fixing up for the last half a century. That's really why you want relations normalized, isn't it?

[piece-itpete]

Dang, busted. Have you heard any of the rig-fixes they do to keep them running? Good old Cuban ingenuity
