11. Good thing that the Cuban gov isn't demanding more freedoms and dissident releases in the US.

What I find interesting is that whenever US politicos go to Cuba they get holy hell for not meeting with dissidents because they tell the "real story" of what Cuba is really like, but, imagine, if you will, if foreign diplomats and negotiators went to meet with Occupy, or Ferguson, or imprisoned pot smokers (all political dissidents) because they tell the "real story" of what the USA is really like.

Yeah, that would go over like a turd in a punchbowl. Just like in Cuba. But, no matter, US diplomats and US pols do it anyway, further demonstrating that they don't care about Cubans in Cuba, nor the ridiculousness of such activity.
