    Hey, I just read a very interesting article that is very thought provoking. Not an us vs them type of article, but is an interesting challenge to our ideas about government. It is called: “The Indefensibility of Political Representation” and can be viewed here:

    I say we ask Oscar to stay president as long as he likes… and the great thing is that he has a brother in reserve to take his place when he gets too old and sick to lead! Who needs elections and political debate…. it’s sooo over rated! Just ask the folks in Cuba!

    One would have to guess that the true “test” of how happy they are, and how functional their government is will happen when the brothers are gone… which I’m sure will be marked with great happiness and sadness.

    If anyone is interested in an objective view of the “not Free” country of Cuba, you might have a look here.

    Yeah,,IMXP,
    why not let Arias’ brother take over later. Bush had his son take over in the States. Now that is REAL old time nepotism. We evenw ent to the bother of voting only to have our votes thrown away when the powers that be didn’t like our selection.

    Freedomhouse is a right wing funded propoganda machine. Try a different scource for unbiased information.

    So Sprite… So where might this “unbiased” source of information be that backs your views of Cuba up? Please mention it so those of us with a different view from yours can simply dismiss it with the same vigor that you do to any source others mention when making their point.

    As for Bush… why did Daddy have to give up the helm to Billy boy for 8 years if handing off the top stop was as simple as you would make it out to be?

    I have no idea how a visit 30 years ago by yourself to Cuba somehow makes you the expert on their government and social policy… especially since nearly 50 years of a dictatorship fly in the face of every position you take… but you might want to remember this… the exchange and difference of opinions we’re all expressing would not exist in the very country you claim is so open and free…
