[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] I'm with Jay on laughing my ass off at that especially stupid comment on the depression. [QUOTE]What, you think Cuban socialism works? That it's good for the people of Cuba?[/QUOTE] Oh, don't get me wrong, the totalitarian end of things in Cuba isn't my cup of tea (although to be fair to Castro things there are probably no worse than most of the states of the former Soviet Union and the bulk of democracies in the devloping world). But take, say, Mexico, and cut off all trade with the US, and you'd have an abysmal hole-in-the-wall of a nation with endemic disease, poverty, war yadda yadda. And yet Cuba, which has spent the last forty years in essentially the same situation, has the healthiest, most literate, and least poverty and crime-stricken people in Latin America. So, yeah, the freedom thing's a bitch, but I'd say that as far as your run-of-the-mill Cuban is concerned, they're quite happy with their socialist economy. [/QB][/QUOTE]
