OMG!! Gee, did the article mention anything about Cuba's HUGE illegal immigration problem? It's such a pradise with its free health care and education, people are just going there in droves.

OOOOOPS! OH, My mistake, Cuba doesn't have an illegal immigration problem. Everyone is trying to GET OUT OF CUBA, not in.

Unfreakinbelievable article. I see the BS is still going on.

Hey leftists and demcrats, If you want to live in Communism, Why don't you move to Cuba? I'm serious. Any demacrat who wants to move to Cuba can freepmail me. I will pay for your one way plane ticket. Fidel will welcome you with open arms. You can enjoy all the free health care, day care, and education, and you'll be able to spout your disgust for America all day long with out consequences.

Think of how happy you will be? Fidel will love you .It will be a big plus for his propaganda campaign if a bunch of you miserable America-Haters moved there. I'm totally serious. I double-dog-dare you to move to Cuba.

*** In the past two months, Castro has carried out the most brutal repression of any in Latin America in the past decade, jailing 75 dissidents and democracy activists and executing three disaffected Afro-Cuban youths who attempted to hijack a ferry.***

International educators conference held in Cuba [Full Text] HAVANA - President Fidel Castro told a group of educators from around the world that education can create a better world by helping to resolve social problems, such as the nagging racial discrimination that still exists in Cuba. Closing the international educators conference here on Friday night, Castro told hundreds of participants that over four decades his socialist government can boast high marks for its primary school programs. But he said secondary education here needs serious improvement.

Beginning in early 2002, Cuba launched a campaign to improve conditions at its primary schools, but reforms for the older students are still pending. Cuba's secondary school program will be radically improved, Castro declared. "The future developing of our education will have enormous political, social and human connotations," the Cuban leader said.

Despite the huge changes that the 1959 revolution made in Cuban society, some social problems have not been completely eliminated, including racial discrimination, Castro acknowledged. "While science shows unquestionably the real equality that exists among human beings, discriminations lives on," especially among the island's poorest groups, Castro said. [End]
