Anyone have any questions about my stand on whether these intrepid voyagers
should be given asylum or not?

PS, 1959 was a VERY good year for Buicks, by the way... (1)

1 - although my Daddy was driving a 1957 Buick Special... it's the car I came
home from the hospital in.

Won't something very bad happen to them when they get home?  Doesn't Castro
frown on folks leaving his country 'illegally'?

If all the Cubans fled to the US, Castro would have no one to push around.  I
mean, shouldn't the US be welcoming every single Cuban with open arms--that'd
depopulate the country pretty quick.

Ahh, but it's nice to have a whipping boy so close to the coast.

(...) Not so. Many Cubans are happy with their lives in paradise. Two hours of work per day and 22 for free time in which to study for free for ever...doesn't sound totally bad to me. (Though I'd really want reliable power and a fat pipe.) Chris (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
