terrible but true
to live in cuba is like to live in fifties (last century)
the cold war is not over there
this is why my upset with cuban socialism
& venezuelan socialism too
&third world socialism too
everybody living from state
thinking like state
working (if you have employee) for state
to live & work in cuba you must be a burocrat.mind of the communist party
or forget it.
i'been in havana for a week
with a little handycam sony (the very first model)
with a big angular lens (no zoom)
i took ten hours of video
& i found al last two or three people trying to "contact" me
for leave the iland, including a boy in a street
that call me back:
"sr. sr. i want to go to united estates"
& about mexico i tell you something:
from red river to down
we latin-americans are suffering the same myth:
we learn that we are "the future of the world"
"the cosmic race" & this is cause of our hispaniard origen
while united states in eighteen century are bunch of savages developing
a very big country that we see today
we are a bunch of condes & duques developing
the imperio espanhol
if the imperio espanhol failed
is not cause of the maine (the ship), or the raisin of an imperial united
states
is cause the spaniards are the most self-dishonest
& the latin americans are alike
& we dont accept we are wrong
we can live for centurys against true
thats is why in cuba is still in cold war.
& more: tha worst about to live like if we have in the cold war
(so in the past) is that if there is no cold war
there is a hot one
& turn to look colombia
& venezuela (with the little transnight dictatorship chavez)
we instead to learn english
& open our minds to global world
& a technological revolution
we are fighting a hot war (colombia)
& still in a cold war (cuba, venezuela, mexico, etc)
against usa
this is crazy jaymarvin boy

ps: apologize the spanglish
