IF THERE IS one society in North or South America where President Bush's goal to leave no child behind is a reality, it can be found in Cuba, 90 miles off the Florida coast in one of the few remaining communist states in the world. That is the conclusion of 24 Bostonians who just returned from a week in Cuba where we focused on how Cuba raises and nurtures its kids.

With the full court press the LIBERAL media's given every tom, dick and harrieta that's gone down to kiss Casto's butt, I can see how you'd feel that way.
It reminds me of Big media's non stop push during Aparthied. Now look at those countries and just try to find Big media covering it. LIBERALS want us all to wear blinders.
The three rotten jerks who wrote this pap do not stop to consider the meaning implicit in this one phrase. Why does anyone have to have dibs on that which is simply available in capitalist society. The government proscribes consumers from the simplest of provision by their unlawful rule. The rule is not only unlawful but cruel, and these idjuts can't see it. I know there must be upstanding Bostonians. They were key to our independence from King George. But now? I have little respect for a country who would force their professionals into a life of poverty and prostitution to get dibs on a glass of milk.
Pissant fellow travelers or imbecile dupes - you make the call!
Umm, Doc, does the word "Potemkin village" ring a bell?
Warm Goodbye From Castro to Oliver Stone in Cuba
American Women Meet With Castro ``It was certainly exciting to meet with him. He is a very charming and eloquent man,'' said Jeffords, who traveled here with the university's Center for Women and Democracy.
Q: Should travel restrictions to Cuba be lifted?
A: The problem with the lifting of travel restrictions is that the Cubans control it because they issue the visas. They can put quotas. They can decide to allow only the tourists going to Varadero and Cayo Coco and ensure they have very little contact with the Cuban people. And all that will do, initially, is fill the government coffers and build up the regime. It's ironic because what you need is for the government to respond to the current economic crisis by opening up, by letting Cubans own and operate their own businesses, by letting them invest, letting them stay at hotels. [In Cuba,] the economy is shrinking. It is too dependent on tourism and remittances. Their way of fixing the problem is to fill up the hotels. A far preferable way . . . would be to grow the economy by letting the people invest in their community by starting small businesses -- not just restaurants and taxis and services, but also . . . creating products. You have natural capitalists in Cuba, and the proof of that is in the cars they have and how they take care of them. If allowed to work independently, they would create wealth through their own labor . . .[End Excerpt]

Eyes Wide Open--[Excerpt] At the conference exhibit hall, the L.A. kids mounted a photo exhibition showing the underbelly of America. There were bleak images of life on an Indian reservation, of the homeless in Los Angeles. It was an eye-opener to some South Africans, who thought everyone in America was rich. "They were absolutely shocked," said Lynn Warshafsky, executive director of Venice Arts Mecca In turn, the L.A. group was surprised at the degree of anti-American sentiment, something they had to process. "They had to ask themselves questions they'd never asked before" about how others see them, Warshafsky said. [End Excerpt]
For Eamon, the highlight was hearing Fidel Castro speak. "I had thought of him as seriously evil. I realized he's not evil, he's doing what he thinks is best. He has this sort of demeanor about him. Whether you like him or not, you respect him. It opened my eyes."
the mothership is gone and the dnc has adopted the loser prison colony and its tactics--goals--leader--ambition/methods too!
