I am the great grandson of Don Tomás Estrada-Palma, the first elected President of Cuba (1902-1906). "Where I am different from most people in the group is I know I am a slave but I think freely while the group thinks they are free while being enslaved..." - Tomas Estrada-Palma, IV -
This is so well written that even the majority of Americans who barely possess the remnants of a sixth grade education can understand it. Sadly, most would rather do their daily Britteny Spears underwear check.

Let entrepreneurs into Cuba, keep the tax low and watch the economic explosion happen. Whenever there are more jobs than workers the wages and benefits are driven upward. That's because entrepreneurs compete for a limited supply of workers. Those who lose the competition will not be as successful because they can't grow without more laborers. Finally, the first modern society on the planet will be populated by people who are neither slaves to the pharaohs of industry nor government. Cuban workers will have the best job security in the world!

Still listening to the network swill crafted lovingly by our network shills? Lincoln WAS right about one thing: "You can fool some of the people ALL of the time." But I do not believe Lincoln ever though America would have this many fools.
However, I will admit that being a fool does have its advantages. Fools are easily amused, quickly distracted and blissfully happy in their ignorance. So they are the contented ones right up until they reach their final solution.
Guys like me who fret about the state of things in the world usually survive because we see it coming and get out of line...
Hello Tomás. The Wachowski brothers (Larry & Andy) tried to warn the world with "The Matrix Trilogy" and "Vendetta," most of the people that watched the former did not get the underlying message, most of those who saw the latter dismissed it as just another disappointing flick from the wacky brothers.
While Larry and Andy engage in morally questionable behavior, they were spot on with the aforementioned movies. Alfonso Cuarón's "Children of Men" was also pretty quasi-prophetic, it did not do very well at the box office.
BTW, your blog settings show postings on Pacific Time, you may want to reset the dashboard to Eastern Time.
