51. Re: cynicism
My head was filled with anti Castro/anti Cuba propaganda and cynicism - until I went there in the late 70s. That blew the doors off of the bullshit many think they know about Cuba.

I have been there many times. I have lots of well educated friends there. I've gone to candidate nomination sessions with them.

I may not be an expert, but I do have actual experience in the things I am discussing about Cuba.

As another DUer who's been there says ...

"Been there. Seen it."

Have you?


I really don't care to argue with you about it. You obviously want to defend your sparsely informed position vigorously. I simply hope that Americans, one day, will be freed by their own government and be allowed to travel freely to Cuba to see for themselves.


Cheers.
