Friends,
Dissidents in Cuba have brass... hearts and souls.
They do what they do even though they know that the almighty (in the all-powerrul, all-controlling sense of the term) tyranny can do with them virtually anything it wants.
Yet they are willing to run the risk. They are willing to suffer the consequences of their actions. And we see, from daily reports from a number of sources, that "actos de repudio" are increasing, that dissident arrests are increasing, that the dictatorship --even though it is languishing and about to succumb to old age and other forces of nature-- is attempting to squash them as never before.
How can we, out here in relatively safe exhile, not do the same as those dissidents in Cuba?
Those opposition voices in the island deserve our support, moral or otherwise. That's why I do what I do --however little it is-- to support efforts such as the presence of Babalublog.com at CubaNostalgia.
I urge each and every reader of this blog to search your souls and find ways, as tangible as possible, to let those brothers and sisters of ours in Cuba that they are not alone in their struggle against the tyranny that enslaves them.
Each and every one of us, regardles of where we are or what we do for a living, must do whatever is possible, within our means, to oppose the tyranny.
No hay mal que dure cien a~nos... and with a little bit of luck, it won't last 48 years.
Viva Cuba libre. Ya no m'as!
