Count me out buddy. Cuba has had nuclear missiles aimed at the US for

would even consider setting foot there.

I know, you were just a simple caveman who fell into a crevasse in a
glacier and froze solid...oh about the 1st of October 1963...until our
scientists found you and thawed you out last week...our modern ways must
frighten and confuse you...

For those of us who do not want to benefit the Cuban dictatorship by
sailing there, in order to be consistent we also have to be willing to
boycott Chinese products and Vietnamese. No problemo, I stopped buying
anything from Wal Mart when they went all Chinese all the time. Chinese
goods are so poorly made that even with the low prices they actually cost
you more because you have to replace them when they break. Thus we have a
double reason not to buy Chinese. I also advocate that we all boycott the
olympics this year. I strongly advocate self determination for Taiwan.
If you are in the market for a computer, remember Lenovo is Chinese made.

fair enough, but don't blame the Chinese...after all, they're playing by
rules many in your country like...i.e., no unions, low wages, no benefits,
no health care, as few holidays as possible, no pensions etc... BTW I feel
you about MallWart, but how do you feel about the big 3? Still buying
"domestic"? I was being harassed on the highway the other day by some
jackass in a big Dodge pickup who had one of those moronic bumper stickers
that said "Out of a job yet? Keep buying foreign" Apparently he had a
pickle up his ass about my 18 year old Honda Accord...that was built in
Tennessee...by Americans...

but to the point, some of you Americans are in the most desperate need for
travel...I mean how long can anyone stare at their belly button and still
be AAMAAAZZEDDD at its grandeur!!!!
