Reply #2: You know, Mika, you can't FORCE people to think, apparently. [View All]

I knew NOTHING about Cuba when Elián Gonzalez was taken prisoner by his distant relatives in Miami, but when I heard his great uncle, the drunken Lázaro had actually VACATIONED in Cuba, where he had met Elián's family, (sleeping in Juan Miguel's own bed, while Elián's dad slept in his own car, to accomodate him) I realized I had just heard something which DOES NOT FIT IN WITH WHAT WE HAVE BEEN TOLD.

If the Cuban "exiles" flee to Miami to "escape" political oppression in Cuba, what on God's green earth would tempt them to go back, hang out in the hotel bars and restaurants, go to shows, rent cars, etc., etc.? Wouldn't they be AFRAID of getting thrown into the slammer, according to what we've been told?

Some minds seem so dulled that apparent conflicts, inconsistancies, and paradoxes like this, lie within them like dead fish floating on the water. They don't stimulate thought at ALL. Holy smokes.

I'm far, far newer to info. about Cuba than you, Mika, but I hope to make up for lost time. I can't imagine people wouldn't care about this, once they see how wildly someone's been deceiving us on this subject!

To say it's extraneous to real American politics is to be uninformed. No one has to look any farther than the last Presidential election, and its grotesque solution in Florida and Washington D.C.
