What do drunks, children and fools have in common?

The answer is that, in Cuba, only they would be quoted in the foreign press according to a man who declined to be interviewed by NPR at yesterday's 26th of July event in Santiago de Cuba.

Then the reporter goes on to quote one of those fools.

In an A.P. piece about the event we read this quote:

"There are a lot of people on the street who talk about change, but we haven't had even one economic or political reform that counts, nothing we hoped for with Raul," said Oswaldo, a 69-year-old retired construction worker. He declined to give his last name, saying, "Being able to openly criticize things is something else we can only hope for."
