Cuban Crystals

Thank you Judy Lynn, I was hoping you'd spot my post knowing you would pick up the ball and run! Those cane fields are a major source of the enviromental degradation of one of the worlds most unique ecosystems. The Fanjuls are the very definition of Facism, their money poisons everything. I've seen Belleglade, I don't think there is an easier way to harvest sugarcane but to subject those workers to such horrific living conditions must surely be criminal, yet nothing has changed for years [ think United Fruit in our own back yard ] sugarcane is a tropical crop Florida is considered the subtropics meaning it is subject to lower temperatures and periods of frost requiring more attention and larger quantities of nitrogen and phosphorous. I have no doubt that the people of Cuba have no interest in ever seeing the Fanjul Family again but at the same time they have certainly worn out their welcome in Florida.

Buy Cuban Crystals

No more Cuban embargo,right? Let's buy Cuban sugar like we always did. Sugarcane grows better there with much less help. Hell, with all the great jobs the slug Scott is always bragging about he can certainly find something better for the poor souls who slave in those polluting cane fields and give that amazing lake a real chance at recovery. Maybe the Fanjul family can make nice with Raul and finally go home,their wealth could make a real difference in Cuba, we don't need them or their sugarcane in Florida, we got Rick Scott.
