First of all, communism never had a chance, but I'm not about to debate
that. What I will point to is your serious inconsistency in flaming Castro,
while we do billions of dollars with China, a country which makes Cuba look
like paradise. And, remember that we ignore or sell arms to quite a few
dictators.

As it exists today, communism is nothing but a fancy name for another path
to political jobs, just like here.

Doug I have to admit that this is a very odd set of questions to me.I love
the freedoms that I have now and will fight to keep them. I won't go into
my
age so much as to say that I grew up practicing "duck and cover" to save
ourselves in the event that Castro threw a bomb our way!
I was told in another post that I have no right to judge, but I am guilty
of "Having no knowledge of diversity"(thank you Ed}.I ask you now,Do you
have any issues with communists and or dictators?

Man have we really strayed from the boating thread? So here goes:
I have a 1959 lonestar that I enjoy on the Potomac river with my teenage
son. There how was that?

Which part of "communist dictator" bothers you? "Communist", or
"dictator"?
Explain why, and reveal your age.

They offered over 1,000 in medical personnel and medical supplies as

as
other supplies. Yes according to what I have read, Castro offered
his
help
right after the hurricane and as of today we have not responded to
hi
s
request. The least that I felt our government could of done was
thank
him
but decline it if we in fact didnt need it.

As of 2 Sep, according to the Secretary of State, no offer had been
declined.

It would be interesting to see the source of the info saying we
declined
and
snubbed Cuba's offer.
