(4,396 posts)the USA is becoming a very stupid country. banana republic.
I had a bus driver that discussed things with me and we were discussing Cuba and vacationing there. He said that before Castro there was such a divide of classes...People were either so rich or they were so poor and had no shoes or food under Baptista. He went after the revolution and it has been so much better. People are eating, have medical care and jobs. He was very adamant on that.
My friends have gone to cuba many times and they love it. The cuban people don't have zilllions of things....It is not a throwaway society. They may all not have the fanciest houses or newest cars but they are HEALTHY. and have access to hospitals and doctors.
Anyway I am off track.
I have come to the point that I just graze now...the NYT, Raw Story, DU...and MSNBC. CNN has become Fox lite and the others are so much puppets being pulled on the strings by the rich republicans.
Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting.
I feel so sad for you all.
