[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] "Looks like it may not be such a rotten place after all." Well, since those stats don't really say anything about the quality of life in Cuba, I'd have to disagree with that conclusion based on the posted facts. "The idea of home, of place, can be very strong. Juan Miguel's wish to return to his home in Cuba with his son is valid." Ah, thank you, Jay! Finally, someone makes a legitimate argument in response to one of mine! OK, so we've come up with two possibilities for Juan's saying that he wants to take his son back to Cuba: his mother is being held at gunpoint; it's his home, and so, regardless of all it's flaws, he still wants to live there. Both are reasonable, and at the moment we can't proove either, so... But I do wonder. In the case of those slaves you mentioned, your point was that the way of life they were forced to live was horrible, but they had to defend it to defend their homes. I wonder, though, that, if given the choice, any of those slaves would choose to have their children live with them in slavery instead of allowing them to live with someone else in freedom.
