Yeah. Actually they do. But it amounts to about as much as voting does
here; bupkis. Only direct democracy is real democracy. "Representative"
democracy is a fraud and a sham. We don't elect our leader. We elect some
of their henchmen, that's all. Our real leaders are the boards of
directors of the corporations.

Yeah, I'm aware. But that's not because it's Cuba. All governments do
that. America's government does that. Ask Leonard Peltier. Ask Geronimo
Pratt. I myself was framed on a totally bogus charge just to silence my
vocal opposition to the Viet Nam war. I got off easy because I'm white. I
didn't do anything Bobby Hutton didn't do and they shot him down in the
street.
Now I have a question for you. When you say "third world," what do you
mean? Do you mean the impoverished and exploited victims of
neo-colonialism, or do you mean non-white?

I've spoken with, and read accounts by, people who have visited Cuba. They
are unanimous in their praise of the Cuban medical system.

Well, you know, all that materialistic stuff just doesn't appeal to me.
Materialism is what's wrong with America. We think more highly of things
than we do of each other. Paper sleeps in a palace; people sleep in the
street. It's sick and it's evil.

My "notions," as you call them, derive from a lifetime of study, from
first hand accounts and from having an open mind. You, on the other hand,
have swallowed the establishment's lies about Cuba whole.
I strongly recommend you read Psywar On Cuba: The Declassified History of
U.S. Anti-Castro Propaganda by Jon Elliston, ISBN1-876175-09-5. It'll open
your eyes.
