That play was a lot of fun, Jimmy. It was written by a friend of mine, a poet and sometime playwright. Bankers are very unpopular in Canada these days for a number of reasons...I think they are becoming even more unpopular than lawyers and child-molesters but it's a little hard to tell.

I think the idea of a bridge to Cuba is a very bad one! It would be the equivalent of building an underground tunnel to Mexico that surfaces somewhere in Los Angeles and has no guards at the American end. In other words, it would be lively!

There's a rumour going around in Latin America that you can cop a higher lifestyle in the old USA (which may or may not happen for a given individual...depends on a number of factors). Only difference is, the USA chooses to treat Cubans (usually) as political refugees. Believe me, they wouldn't if it was easier for the Cubans to make the crossing in large numbers!

The actual fact is, most of these people are primarily economic refugees. Build a bridge to China or the Phillipines and see what happens!!!

Anyway, it's a moot point. The imminent Martian invasion on Aug 31 will leave these minor Earthling issues in the dust... (see "Attack Coming on August 27th!" thread). :-)
