[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Whoa, big fella! You're getting too angry about all this to carry on a good argument. First off, the post in its entirety was not directed towards you. Someone ELSE made the statement about tourists, and it needed commented on. I should have made that clearer. As for the rest, I was merely attacking evident doublespeak, 'fact' when the truth is 'possibility.' Which, as everyone knows, I do all the time, particularly in religious threads. And pointing out that each side in this debate has potentially dubious information, as neither of the speakers here has, to my knowledge, lived in Cuba recently. (although the only person I know who ever spent any appreciable length of time in Cuba was a kid I roomed with for a semester in my junior college, an Equadorian, who described it as 'a hole' -- but I couldn't stand him, either.) However, given the recent articles I've read about the Cuban economy, social situation, and prospects, I'd have to say that Cuba is a bit closer to Third World Country than it is to Worker's Paradise. After all.. here, distributing pamphlets saying you hate OUR leader gets you a fan club, or at worst, a reputation as a kook. Doing it THERE, about Castro, gets you 20 years in jail. [/QB][/QUOTE]
