of the Cuban revolution, coming up in four years.

I have no objection to another country's choice of government that is different than our own. In this case Cuba socialism. Our own Constitution allows all people to have their own personal political, religious and social ideology unconditionally, regardless, and allowing the freedom to express ones thoughts.

Too many people get their information from right-wing owned corporate media, imperialist hateful politicians or right-wing Cubans in the US who want to go back to Batista's Cuba (before Castro)...the same ones who want to take Cuba back to a time when the very few wealthy owned everything and the Cuban people were pretty much slaves to the American companies and business interest...Gambling casino's, the resort industry, Us exploited agriculture, cheap labor, etc. Pretty much what the US is now doing to Haiti under Bush.

So of course ones going to hear all the bullshit from American corporate media about Cuba.

"Batista's Cuba became profitable for American business and organized
crime. Havana became the "Latin Las Vegas,"

Just like every person, every country has it's problem as well, Cuba is no different...However, Americans hate the fact we don't control little Cuba, nor can tell it what to do.

Cheers to Castro and the Cuban people!
