8. what nonsense
Edited on Sat May-15-04 11:20 PM by Zuni
Cuba is the only true dictatorship and the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. The only equality is in poverty.
I love it when people who oppose the death penalty in the US praise Cuba. Castro has had more than 17,000 executed since 1959.
Last year he executed a number of people, one day after their trial ended during the crackdown on dissent. At least here there is a lengthy appeals process.
I also heard that Cuba has the largest percentage of blacks among their prison population. I heard it is close to 80%.
Cuba under Castro led the world in lobotomizing dissidents and gays, until the 1980s. gays are still put in mental institutions down there
