No Mango For You

Here's a quick article that shows the sheer absurdity of Castro's regime:

HAVANA, July 27 (Moisés Leonardo Rodríguez / www.cubanet.org) - Lack of transportation has put a crimp on the government's effort to collect the current mango crop, but peasants who grow it are forbidden from selling their produce to the people. The result: No mangoes in the markets and 200 hundredweight of mangoes disposed of in the river Saná.

As a matter of fact, says local human rights activist Guillermo Llanes, this is the second time the massive dump takes place. Government officials had done the same last month.

Unbelievable, no?

The quote "Well let them eat cake" comes to mind.
