If your child asked for a loaf of bread would you give you him a rock? In Cuba you would have no choice if that is what the state decreed for you to do. Refusal may mean your immediate execution.

Is this an extreme example? YES of course it is, but that is the law, the state decides and you don't. The state is the big Papa and you have less rights than a serf in old Russia.

Freedom - all the rest is BS

as I define goodness it is being a kind helpful person without trying to shift your own bullshit on to other people by force.....

Uh oh, then you must believe that Janet Reno, Fidel Castro, and especially the thug who threatened to blow away the fisherman who saved poor Elian from the sea, are not good people. Well good for you, and that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are not that bad after all..... Yogi
