You are obviously well prepared for weather emergencies, as is your

U.S. for a brief period of time and was even considered a George
Washington style revolutionary figure.  It seems that several Democratic
Party mayors and governors in the United States want to take us down the
same failed path that Castro did in Cuba.  Not sure why you seem to be
upset by my post which paints a sad picture of Cuba today.

Yeah, I remember when Fidel was a heroic freedom fighter working to
overthrow Batista's corrupt oligarchy. Then Castro declined to follow the
playbook and became a pariah. He did have the sense to send Guevara off to
anyplace but Cuba.

I still can't see the sense of the decades long embargo though other than
revenge by wealthy Miami Cubans like Rubio.
