Stop the Havanaban!
Stop the Havanaban!
There is this belief that is widely accepted here in America that would be laughable if it were not so serious. The misconception is that Cubans on the island are happy, contented people in love with socialism. But we know differently now don’t we? We know that each day brings more misery and want. To just survive you must swipe anything that’s not nailed down and…no, actually you swipe stuff that IS nailed down too. I am amazed at the Cuban innovative spirit to survive personally using wits, chicken wire and bubble gum. You have been legally forbidden to use that clever ability to better your life. You have suffered in silence too long.
Now I open the pages of this blog to vent your pain and anger to America so they will understand. For, besides this blog actively searching for those who will defeat the Havanaban, it is also a device for you to tell your story. Email me at stopthehavanaban@yahoo.com and tell my readers of the abuse and stupidity that you endure each day. It will take you five minutes to setup a false identity yahoo account to email me at stopthehavanaban@yahoo.com. I will not compromise you or give facts that will identify you. I won’t email you back unless you want me to do so and I’ll use another computer to do that. Just give me a fake code name like “Mary Quite Contrary” so when I’m reporting your story you will know it is you. Write in Spanish if you prefer. I’ll translate it into English for you. It’s good practice for me anyhow.
I believe that the more communications that we set up between us the better we will understand each other. So please tell me your communist ministry story. Let me feel your pain. Look, I hate even going to the Motor Vehicle Administration to renew my driver’s license once every five years. I can’t even begin to know what you must be going through. Please tell me.
