The next time someone touts the Cuban medical system throw this at them. From the Miami herald:
Cuba's ideological struggle with youth is nothing new. In the past, Castro has cracked down on aspects of youth culture such as rock 'n' roll, long hair and tight jeans. In the late 1980s, one group of disenchanted young people dubbed frikis grew so disillusioned that they deliberately injected themselves with the AIDS virus, reportedly so they could live better in well-stocked health facilities set aside for AIDS patients.

I found this blog a while back ... and we thought one of the fruits of castro's communism was "equality for all" ... think NOT!!
Check out this fortunate citizen's blog . . . while those with dissenting views are starving and rotting in castro's prisons. :(
