Cuba is a country that has been ruled by a repressive Communist

thousands of Cubans for real, imaginary, and made-up crimes, the latter
two categories being more than a little "political."

According to the International Center for Prison Studies, Cuba's
incarceration rate in 2006-2009 was 531 for each 100,000 residents.

In the United States, a bastion of democracy, the incarceration rate for
the same time period was 751 for each 100,000 residents.

Only a real dip**** wouldn't see that firing squads greatly reduce incarceration rates.

Are you calling Harry a dip****? Attaboy John. He is finally getting the
credit he deserves.

No.

I don't believe in name-calling. I think it's quite immature.
