Maybe they are better off that they were under Batista, The US supported the overthrow of Batista but when Castro turned socialist they no longer supported him.

I can grasp what you are saying. But what I am saying about Castro is that he is a dictaor, a tyrant and nobody wants him as the leader of Cuba except the high ranking communists that are treated differently that the average Cuban. He uses the US as an excuse for anything that is wrong in Cuba.

I have been to Mexico and Jamaica and I was damned glad to get back on US soil. I see people here bitching and whining about conditions and a government that the Cubans die for.

I have been to Canada several times and it is pretty good except Quebecois are assholes. I still don't want to live there because I am used to the US. I used to watch a Canadian news chanel before Google bought it. It was interesting but it showed a lot of animosity for the Canadian Government.

Way up in Maine there was a Walmart right near the border. People were streaming in from Canada to scarf up on that awful Walmart stuff.
