The fact of the matter is that I myself, don't agree with every method used by the exile community but you can't lump all these folks into the same put. There are many different views and methods of action. I don't believe generalizing solves anything.<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, one must remember that although some of the methods may in fact be counterproductive, the goals are the same, and just as nobel - the end of Fidelismo and the beginning of giving the Cuban people the reigns to their own destiny.<BR/><BR/>I think folks (on both sides of this issue) tend to be rather myopic from time-to-time and I find myself becoming increasingly tired by that fact. I am tired of the creation of dividing walls.<BR/><BR/>-ABCUBAWATCHERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05585099213404286772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851163370258594999.post-49530498243421439372008-05-15T09:43:00.000-04:002008-05-15T09:43:00.000-04:00cubawatcher -On the one hand, you are right, the a...cubawatcher -<BR/><BR/>On the one hand, you are right, the antipathy is not deserved,<BR/><BR/> on the other hand the antipathy is present, i believe, b/c anytime a cuban american opens their mouth, many have the 'babalu' heny gomez types in their heads.<BR/><BR/>henry, val, and his ilk do deserve our antipathy if you ask me. their way of thinking is dangerous and "un-american". <BR/><BR/>they take our right to see our family members. with their strong support of the embargo, we see how it hurts our family members left behind in cuba.

Oftentimes, whenever anyone in the Cuban community opens their mouth, they are met with that same sort of animosity and I am at a loss as to why. I fail to see what type of threat we pose against anyone (I'm speaking about the Cuban people here and not the government) and as a result of that, simply do not understand the antipathy often expressed towards us. <BR/><BR/>-AnatasioCUBAWATCHERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05585099213404286772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851163370258594999.post-85659591370084640212008-05-14T09:42:00.000-04:002008-05-14T09:42:00.000-04:00Well, first of all, I wasn't speaking about either...Well, first of all, I wasn't speaking about either Haitians or Mexicans . . . second of all - if you think a Cuban has no experience with "poor in Latin America," you're living in an alternate reality or universe.<BR/><BR/>-AnatasioCUBAWATCHERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05585099213404286772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851163370258594999.post-83003399652895876302008-05-13T21:23:00.000-04:002008-05-13T21:23:00.000-04:00"The Cuban people have absolutely no incentive to ..."The Cuban people have absolutely no incentive to work towards "increased productivity."<BR/><BR/>And 70 percent of Americans do?<BR/><BR/>What about most avererage Hatians, they have incentive?<BR/><BR/>Poor mexicans, can they salir adelante? if you think so, you haven't read any research or have experience with poor in latin americaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851163370258594999.post-58093548489223525342008-05-13T19:35:00.000-04:002008-05-13T19:35:00.000-04:00The Cuban people have absolutely no incentive to w...The Cuban people have absolutely no incentive to work towards "increased productivity."<BR/><BR/>-AnatasioCUBAWATCHERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05585099213404286772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851163370258594999.post-43956025154581544232008-05-13T14:47:00.001-04:002008-05-13T14:47:00.001-04:00Hey, Cuban Central Bank, how about food stamps to ...Hey, Cuban Central Bank, how about food stamps to buy produce at private famers' markets?
