You know that, and of course, the end of his imprisonment, made me, and my popcorn-loving self, smile.
It's strange, however, that not everyone is elated that his ordeal has come to an end.
Funny how some people are crying foul and complaining about Cuba's lack of Democracy.
If the complainers would only redirect some of that indignation, and recognize the audacity of their views.
If they'd only work as diligently to ensure that democracy thrives for all...here...in America.
DC, after all, still has Eleanor Holmes Norton--a diligent, dedicated, but NON-voting member of the U.S. House of Representatives--while DC's population is certainly comparable to that of the state of Vermont.
DC is still a colony.
Why doesn't that bother anyone?
Sounds like some people would rather that the poor man remained incarcerated and away from his family, than to at least try to move toward a new, honest, healthy relationship with the island nation.
I wonder how many Cubans have been longing for the lifting of the economic embargoes?
I wonder how many have been waiting for an open door; a new political policy; new relations between nations that would allow them and their loved ones to travel freely to see one another?
I don't know.
Some things just don't have to be difficult...do they?
