When I was in Havana, last winter

LOL. Why'd you come back?

My visa was only good for 30 days.

I meant...why didn't you move there permanently?

I would love to live there but my family likes me to live here for part of
the year. The sailing there is terrific! Have you ever been to the
Hemingway Marina in Havana or the Marina Varadero? My older brother lives
in Pinar Del Rio, Southwest of Havana, for 6 months of the year. ( winter )
as he has a visa for 6 months. He is a retired Professor of Engineering.
Retired at age 52. My 30 days vacation there is just fine for me. I also
love the winter here. Snowmobiling in the south is not very good! I use
my summer cottage, at the Lake, for the rest of the winter as it is
winterized and it has a wonderful fireplace.

The problem isn't GW Bush, it is JEB and every other Florida polititian from
Claude Pepper to Lawton Chiles. (along with the beet/corn sugar folks from
ABM). We aren't scred of communists we are scared of a tourist and agricultural
center 90 miles away.

If Castro *doesn't* die soon, Cuba might still be flooded with
Americans....
like the Marines, Airborne, the 4th ID, etc.

We could bomb Minnesota. A thermonuclear blast ought to raise your temps
above freezing for awhile.


Nuclear NOYB. You must have shares in a bomb making company.

The solution is Bush. All he has to do is say that he plans to
re-establish relations with Cuba

I doubt it makes any difference as long as Florida politics are involved.
Nobody in the last 80 years has lost Florida and won the white house.

Don't tell me there carter


You have fields of deer and buffalo roaming ,,, lol,,,

Mother,,, better get the meds tray out again,,, seems jimmy is off his
rocker again,,,

O ya,, and the brother,, retired 52 year old teacher,,, lol,,, I am sure he
is a proud teacher, where majority of his graduates cannot read properly and
the engineering students coming from the east are selected for employment
over their western counterparts. I am sure you are proud of your brother who
spends all of his winters down in Cuba,,, but happen to fall off one of your
rocking chairs there about a month ago,,, lol,,, unless you are in Cuba,,
then you are a liar,,, lol,,, you make a perfect krause puppet,,, PERFECT,,,
Besides there carter not too smarter,, we had this conversation a month
ago,,, I proved you wrong then, (remember your brother fell off the rocking
chair laughing) and I proved you a liar today as you claim he spends his
winters in Cuba,,, lol,,,

Unless that 6 month visa has multiple entries,,, you could sneak out of this
lie that way, but why would he visit you in the north,,, just to use your
rocking chair???? lol,,,, ouch,,, no,,, you make a perfect krause puppet,,,,
YUP,,, Krause,,, this one will do,,,

Vietnam Vet Freezes To Death Christmas Eve
...................................snip.......... ..........................
A very high percentage of homeless males in that age group are
Vietnam-era vets. Of those, an extremely high number are suffering form
some sort of mental illness. It's too bad we no longer have a safety net.

Only in America........Billions of dollars spent on war and not enough to
have housing for the homeless.

Maybe if the homeless would get a job, they wouldn't be homeless.
Wal-Mart is always hiring.......


When I was in Havana, last winter, I noticed a signboard on a large building
in the downtown area. On this sign was written, in English, " 30,000
children slept in the streets last night. Not one was Cuban." This sign
is in reference to the homeless in the USA. In Cuba, everyone has a
home,provided by the government, or built by the people themselves.

There's a wonderful example. Everyone has a roof over the heads, but
most of them leak. Everyone is equal in poverty. At least in a free
market government, the people who achieve can rise above it. In
socialist/communist nations, the achievers pay for the non-achievers
thereby discouraging anyone from achieving, as there are no extra
rewards for doing so.


There are homeless people living in the streets of Toronto, but it is their
choice to do so. Not anyone here has to be homeless.

That's true everywhere. If one has the will to better themselves they
can find a way. America is the land of opportunity. But it is NOT the
land of guarantees.

Hi Dave: Have you ever been to Cuba or do you just listen to Bush's
propaganda about Cuba?

The houses there do not have leaky roofs any more than you have one.
Everyone is not in poverty there. Before you type your comments, get your
facts straight. There are new cars being purchased, just not American
ones.

I have been there. I have family that lives there for part of the year and
have been doing so for more than 30 years.
Of course, life there could be better if the USA would lift the embargo.

He's our own little Curtis LeMay...

"If you are going to use military force, then you ought to use overwhelming
military force. Use too much and deliberately use too much.. you'll save
lives, not only your own, but the enemy's too." -Curtis LeMay

If LeMay's policies would have been implemented, then today there'd be a
unified Korea, we'd have won the Vietnam War, and Castro wouldn't have
survived the Cuban missile crisis. Of course, the World probably would have
ended sometime in the 70's when he launched an all-out pre-emptive strike
against the Soviets...but nobody's perfect.
