Tell us about your carefree life in Cuba. Regale us with stories about your open, transparent and democratic elections.

I am curious too! I much prefer to hear about your exploits first hand in Cuba than read about them from some book.

I personally have never been to Cuba. Though I have been privy to Cuba's version of "international statesmanship" in their various dealings with Latin American peoples. Cuban "doctors" (not in any sense more prepared than a new nurse graduate) have this awesome super-ability... they are able to impregnate vast numbers of poor young Latinas before skipping off to their next field assignment.

For the glory of the revolution, of course.

Probably not, of course. "Definition of reactionary" Judi Lynn May 2018 #8

And are the Democracy Index or the Press Freedom Index ultra right wing and incorrect? EX500rider May 2018 #9

Perhaps a definition of democracy? I thought that Democrats embraced that sort of thing! GatoGordo May 2018 #10
