I'm sure everyone here has heard about the five year old boy from Cuba who was found floating a mile and a half off of Ft. Lauderdale.
He, along with a dozen or so adults decided they had enough of the Workers Paradise (yes, even with job rotation) and decided to vamoose for El Norte. Too bad, so sad, everybody except the 5 yr. old.kid died enroute.
Wouldn't it be terrific if we had some ex-Commies here from Havana on this board so they could settle some of the burning issues here, such as what is a sectarian socialist/communist, and are they more genuine then a regular communist/socialist? I'm dying to know.
