Some People Should Be Deported....

I think we should send all of the hippies to Cuba, I think they'd like the "socialist" paradise there.

Are you kidding?  Half the women I work with on civvie street have actually been to Cuba on vacation. It is beyond me how they live with themselves, blowing hard earned money to help support a repressive communist regime, but all they care about is the money they are going to make for their next vacation, and how much sun, sand, surf and liquor they will be able to get for the cheapest price.

Don't worry Micheal they probably never leave their European owned and operated all-inclusive resort so odds are all Fidel gets from them is the $25.00 US depature tax.

Actually, Castro owns a bunch of travle agnecys in Canada

just curious, how do you know that?

 

[foerestedwarrior]

My mom is a travel agent, also seen stuff about it on the news, may be owned by the country of cuba, or him personally, not sure

Thing about Castro is that, in all fairness, Cuba is pretty decent in comparison to a great deal of places in South America and the Caribean. I mean, sure it's not a paradise by any means, but he has done a great deal for it, and many of the repressions (limits on milk consumed by adults comes to mind) are there because the regime is trying to use limited resources to feed/support a large population.

Not that I am, or have ever been a member of the communist party

Actually Castro â Å“officiallyâ ? doesn't own anything. Everything is state owned, and as it's a dictatorial states that means defacto he has control of it. Most of the tourist industry is run between Cuban and foreign companies with Cuba putting up the land and labour and the foreigners (mostly European but some Mexican and Canadian firms) the capital.

You guys have to understand that the "normal rules" really don't apply to or in Cuba and yeah I speak from experience.
