1. How terrible of that damn Castro to force teachers to teach reading!

Worse that that, to force people who want to learn to read.

:sarcasm:



VIVA Cuba!

2. Ah, my heart goes out to those poor, wretched people in your photo,

trembling in fear in Santiago de Cuba, scared to death of life in their police state.

I can't help but notice they are all wearing hand-me-downs which have been in their families for generations.

I have never seen such depressing looking people in my life. Why don't they look more like U.S. Republicans?
