I was among the people, Old Guy. I was not staying in tourist hotels. Yeah, most of them are poor. But they're considerably better off than they were under Batista, and they're considerably better off than the poor in most of the rest of Latin America.

I don't give a hoot about communism. I'm no admirer of it. Neither am I an admirer of the WalMart approach to society. Can you grasp that?

Your opinions are based on fear, hatred, prejudice, and pre-conceived notions. I've been to Cuba. I've been to Mexico. I've been to Trinidad. They all have their charms. They all have their flaws. You can get in serious shit in any of them in no time flat if you do something stupid or are unaware of the local conditions.
