Reply #16: Good god almighty. I wish you would go back in time and visit Cuba.

I can only stay a moment, will be back later, but HAD to drop this off, seeing you are continuing to yammer mindlessly on Cuba.

Back in 2000, at the old CNN US/Cuba policy message board, one of the outstanding, and very well traveled posters discovered a site which he shared with the rest of us and we (the non-fascists) nearly laughed until we collapsed:

Take a good long look. Don't be superficial about it. Go ahead and have a good long look. Some of the photos aren't around any longer, which is a shame. I'd love the well balanced, Democratic posters here to have a chance to see them.

Have a fiesta, viewing the fabulous city of dreams you describe. Others at the time knew it as the "Whorehouse" of the Caribbean, just as Mika told you, if you'd only taken the time to acknowledge it. You will hear it referred to that way if you do a search, or even if you just happen to be watching documentaries, both American and British, where I've seen it described in that term long, long ago.

Diversity. Jesus H. Christ on a pogo stick. It was one of the most filthy racist societies on the planet. Who they hell do you imagine you're talking to, and how stupid do you think we all are, anyway? You would find idiot clowns who might swallow that crap among the witless reactionaries who post at the Miami Herald message board, no doubt.

Try researching what black people who LIVED the hell there during those days have to say on the subject, why not?

If anyone ever needed a HUGE lesson on Cuba, it's gotta be you. You need to do your homework, and tons of it instantly, or wake the hell up from your opium dream at the very least, and don't post until you know what you're talking about.

I'll be back later. This is a subject which could become a real hobby: researching Havana before the revolution.

"It was Vegas with cultural, racial, and economic diversity." Amazing! I've never heard ANYTHING like that in my entire life. Gotta be a world's record for general silliness.
