Love to chat! Roy
Very nice photographs, for which I thank you very much.
My father and his parents lived in Cuba from 1939 to 1942. They were German Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany, and not political left-wingers. That family history is where my own interest in Cuba comes from. My dad met my mom in the United States and that's how I came into this world.
Cuban society today represents an effort to build an alternative to the way life was under the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista, who ran Cuba before Fidel Castro led a revolution there. No one complained about a lack of human rights and democracy in those days, but U.S. businesses were protected.
Some things work, some don’t. Like any society, Cuba its flaws and contradictions, as well as having solid achievements. No society is perfect. But we can certainly learn a few things from Cuba’s experience. I think we can learn more than a few. If we want to bring freedom to Cuba, the best thing we can do is practice what we preach.
We should all be free to visit Cuba. We can visit China and Vietnam, even North Korea, Syria and Iran, why can't we visit Cuba and see it for ourselves? Cuba is our neighbor and we should simply normalized relations with the island.
Since August 2000, the CubaNews list, a free Yahoo news group has compiled a wide range of materials, pro and con, about Cuba, its people, politics and culture, and life within the island and affecting it in the Cuban diaspora abroad.
Details on the Yahoo newsgroup:

Without a doubt, Cuba has created an alternative to life under the Batista government...
Cubans aren't free to travel out of Cuba...Cuba is now a Third World Country that in Batista's time had a way of life very similiar to the United States...Cubans studied in Universities abroad...travelled on a regular basis...had their own cars and could afford to travel, buy a home...that was their own...feed themselves w/o importing it all.
Many did complain of Batista and what transpired but Fidel came to power under the premise of a free and democratic Cuba free to pursue their own destiny...but one caudillo (strongman) replaced another.
Normalize relations with a government that doesn't have respect for Cubans human rights
and would only use the infusion of cash from a renewed and vigorous tourism industy to keep the Cuban people subservient to their agenda.
Maybe when Cubans on the island have the right to travel, work, take care of their families in a proud and dignified manner we can think about normalizing relations.
Take a look at Cuba now and you'll see the reality and not the fantasy.
