Reading this post makes me think back to that discussion we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.<br /><br><br />I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as memory gets less expensive, the possibility of transferring our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality.

They make the NRA look like a group of helpless wimps.<BR/><BR/>No presidential candidate wants to jeopardize Florida's electoral votes, and there are just enough of those wealthy rightwing Cuban exiles (and their children and grandchildren) to intimidate every politician. Those exiles were perfectly happy living under Castro's predecessor, Batista, who was just as brutal and ruthless as Castro. But he was a rightwing dictator who protected the wealthy and kept the poor and minorities in their place. These Cuban exiles will just never get over the fact that their personal fiefdom was taken away from them by that rabble-rousing commie.<BR/><BR/>I hope Obama will show some intelligence in this matter.Tom Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05610417770240609022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-37079995981103568712008-12-30T14:58:00.000-05:002008-12-30T14:58:00.000-05:00Mr. MaCrum:Thank you for the very sensible post! ...Mr. MaCrum:<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the very sensible post! I too have agreed with you from about 72 or so that our embargo of Cuba is silly and petty. Politically, it is done ONLY for the reason you suggest, the children of Cubans who fled.<BR/><BR/>If/when relations are normalized again, I look forward to the return of Cuban cigars! While I travel enough to Canada to sample them a few times a year, having normal access here will be wonderful.<BR/><BR/>PipeTobacco<BR/>http://frumpyprofessor.blogspot.comPipeTobaccohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17746884792061867611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-65094357639961519792008-12-30T14:21:00.000-05:002008-12-30T14:21:00.000-05:00mrmacrum, I think you are the communist.

It has not worked, if in fact the goal was to overthrow Castro's regime. Neither did any of the other half-assed schemes to get rid of the communists.<BR/><BR/>Canada, as you probably know, has no embargo against Cuba. Many Canadians travel to Cuba in the winter, including a number of my relatives. I have decided not to go, though, as long as Fidel or Raul are still living. I do hold them responsible for many reprehensible things in their country, so I guess you could call it my own personal embargo. But I have no problem with any country that wants to trade with Cuba, or any individual who wishes to take a vacation there.<BR/><BR/>Just a passing point: if the USA ceased to be pro-Israel, the rest of the Middle East would find something else to complain about, and use to justify terrorism against the West.El Cerdo Ignatiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00646154540141962389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-6607063171240486222008-12-30T05:25:00.000-05:002008-12-30T05:25:00.000-05:00Love BBC ... my kind of totally off the wall guy w...Love BBC ... my kind of totally off the wall guy who's more often on the money than not.
