Don’t want no socialism not no way not no how…

If the care is so wonderful and and the infant mortality rate is so low, why are there so many fleeing such a free country? As I mentioned about a month ago, the Cuban that I spoke to gave me a lesson on healthcare in Cuba, as well as the stats we are being given….AKD, the figures that the CIA and other governments get are from Cuban officials. The stats given are for the cities in Cuba we are shown in the photos…we don’t see all that once fertile land and towns, that is now a countryside of poverty. We see what Castro wants us to see. Are the figures we get representative of the entire population or are they stats of towns such as Havana?

There’s a possibility of this with the infant mortality rates because I’ve only heard of a couple studies that have provided anything like outside verification. As far as the literacy rates go, there’ve been dozens of studies and Cuba’s methods have been picked up on by a few Latin American countries. Here’re the statistics from the CIA world factbook. Though I suppose they could be falsifying their numbers….

Amazing to me that folks are gulible enough to take these stats as face value.

Depressing that people are so horrified by the prospect of a socialist country succeeding that they turn a blind eye to policies that could work here.

Not that Cuba is any sort of utopia; incidentally, the same NGOs who’ve criticized Cuba in the past for its human rights violations have now condemned the US as well. Strange bedfellows…

I watched the movie when some friends of mine rented it. I sat there wayching it, and would then pause and debunk the claims for them.

“Among rational, logical, reasonable people who have the ability to think for themselves Moore’s propaganda has been debunked. Unfortunately they are not the majority.”

I disagree. Even among the majority of my Dem friends, he is looked upon as tarnished. He is viewed as being on the fringe by them. Even on some of the Dem sites I’ve visited, they distance themselves from him. mostly, the only reason some liberals like him is becasue he seems to drive conservatives nuts.

I LMAO’d at the sophomoric way it was put together. It looked like some high school kid’s class project.
