Decluttering #1

    Going through old files and decluttering, I came across this article about the Cuban Missile Crisis. It's not a bad article, but it neglects the fact that the crisis was provoked.

     How, you ask?
    
    When President Kennedy installed missiles in Turkey, he provoked the Soviet Union. And that was the beginning of the end for Cuba.

Red Sky

    The colors are fading. Window spies are always watching. Life is changing. A paper plane flown from a prison window tells me so. 

    The simple life, the simple pleasures: sandcastles, seashells, siesta, carnivals, carousels, cotton candy, piƱatas, and parasols are a thing of the past. Once vibrant concrete cities are now concrete deserts. Red flutters in the wind, with foreign faces I don't know.  How can a perfect, cloudless blue sky be so gray and dark? Mami calls it a red sky.

Education in Cuba

Integrated schools, education for all since the early 1900s. Fidel fooled the world into thinking he brought education to Cubans.

American companies that did business in Cuba did good things for Cubans. All you hear is the myth of the US hold on Cuba.
