Exploiting Children
This article offends on so many different levels, but most egregious is the photo below, showing an innocent child’s flesh being used for a political statement. I don't care if this boy's parents think it's wonderful--and if that's the case, then it is one more symptom of castro's debasement of a once moral civil society. A che image on the arm of a child? I wonder, do they collect dollars for the photos?
The whole article is nothing more than propaganda willingly served up by another useful idiot who...drum roll...has been to Cuba ...twice.
This excerpt says it all:
Growing up under socialism has freed the young generation in Cuba to think about more important things. One 30-something guy I spoke to complained that he had no money. That he had to work side jobs just to make ends meet. (I failed to mention that millions of Americans do the same).But I asked him what he would do with more money.
“I’d take a trip,” he told me.It was not about new cars or bigger houses for him. He just wanted to go somewhere and see something.
That’s one freedom that I cherish. Traveling and seeing how things work in other places in the world.
"There are two freedoms - the false, where a man is free to do what he likes; the true, where he is free to do what he ought. ~ Charles Kingsley

Of course he'd take a trip. A trip out of the hellhole that is Cuba.
