Hm, maybe there is more than one mindset in Cuba?
Maybe some people idealize america, and some people
idealize Castro?
I know that when i was in Amstterdam I found a couple
who hated amsterdam- one of the "free-est" cities in the world-
and were trying to get back IN to Cuba.
But I also have heard, numerous times, of the art there, and
all of it deals with the need for the spirits of people to be elevated
out of the extreme poverty and structure.
Just my two pesos.
