Anything involving increased technology, or increased energy use under our present system, is not an option at all.

Or did you have something completely different in mind?

Yes, something completely different.

""First get someone with universal appeal to lead.....not an intellectual.....""

They did!......And I don't recall Ronnie Reagan being so great....even when he was awake.

As for Sarah, I think for the benefit of Homeland Security in the States, she should be invited to partner G W Bush...on a shooting party.

That should solve two problems.

""....It is truly amazing how the charisma and good embodied in one man, has fought and so far defeated the forces of greed and evil....and the battleground has been the minds of his people""

Are you for real man?

Have you never seen the conditions in which the general population live in Cuba.

The buildings are hovels, the vehicles (what few there are still running) are cobbled together from five or six cannibalised wrecks, electricity is intermittent, and the children are dressed in rags.

You say they have a wonderful health care system? Maybe, but fixing people up free of charge, to go back and live in squalor, and catch more diseases doesn't seem such a great achievement to me.

There are at least a dozen TV documentaries which show what that good, kind dictator has done, and it isn't much, unless of course you are one of his cronies, or a member of the family.

Proof of the pudding......Would you rather live there, or in Capitalist Scotland? And please don't insult our intelligence by trying to make us believe that you would even consider the move.

Actually Ake, there is another question:- If the USA opened its borders tomorrow, and said that Cuban citizens would be welcome to come in, assuming that Castro didn't try to prevent them, what effect would you expect to see on the population of Cuba?

Stop wasting time worrying about whether the Democratic or Republican parties are dying....and focus on something real instead.

Here's an interesting interview with Dennis Kucinich (a man who does not represent a "party", but talks about things that are real...)

Sorry. I hit submit before entering the link. Dennis Kucinich speaks on...

The War, the economy, the powers of Congress, foreign policy.

And those are things that are real. To hell with the Democratic and Republican parties. They are a joke as far as I'm concerned.
