Cuba isn\'t evil. You Americans must really get off your "communism-is-the-king-of-all-evils" mentality. Even though I don\'t applaud all the things Castro has done in the past, he has created a country where everybody can read (yes, you read this correctly) and it runs itself quite nicely. Children must go to school and all learn to read. America is a little behind in the education business (a little?). Canada isn\'t so great education-wise either, but the US really has something going to wrong way. You can obviously tell by which way the vote for presidency went *cough* *cough*
Anyways... Europe is also more advanced in some areas technologically. Europe and Asia that is. Both have had superior internet and cell phone connections (digital, broadband and the like) than North America. Also, computers are taught well in Europe (no taking stupid chemistry courses to get into computers... stupid education systems).
That is all.
cuba isnt evil???? are you smoking crack? did fidel give you one of his cigars??
ill ask you this:
why the **ck is it that hundreds of people try to PADDLE hundreds of miles from cuba to america?
why?
Why would they go out in cardboard rafts, in shark infested waters in 10+foot swells knowing that they most likely will just be picked up by an american military ship and be hauled back?
for the idea of freedom. for the idea of having a life.
Why is it that cuba demanded that we not take them over during the cuban missile crisis before giving the nukes back to russia?
If it wasnt for that, there wouldnt be a cuba today. we wouldve taken it out.
and why was Elian Gonzales brought to a rehab school after being "exposed" to american ideals? in those schools they brainwash the kid into thinking DEMOCRACY is evil.
and why does cuba have its military patroling the coastlines, not letting anyone escape?
Why?
