So your contention is that the average Cuban was content under Fidel?
If so, what's with the human wave of them trying to get here, health care system not withstanding?Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

As a matter of fact, we'll never know the real economic effects of Cuban socialist regime because of the huge external factor of US embargo (which is no valuation of whether it is fair, necessary or whateer; I'm just describing its huge effect)."The world is too small in Vorarlberg".

Besides that, Mexico is too busy trying not to be killed by the drug cartel. Hell, police and officials are leaving, too. You didn't hear me say Mexico was some lost paradise.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

And you never heard me claim that Cuba was some lost socialist paradise. I only said that it could degrade more, into a narco-ridden state given the general instability of the region, and that some traits (edu, medi) are much above the Carribbean/Central American average."The world is too small in Vorarlberg".
