More than sufficient for a bunch of neighbors to go together and purchase a 1958 Chevy. What more could one want? Well, okay, parts and gas, but I mean other than that...

Really? Since I live here in Mexico please tell me where this is happening.

I haven't heard about any of this in my almost 20 years here.

I've been to Cuba - if you get caught messing with a minor there, the penalties are severe.

But any poor country, whether Mexico, or Cuba, or Thailand, etc, is going to have some of that black market activity. It's a question of how good law enforcement really are. There's plenty of lawlessness in Mexico.

What is a "white bread tourist?" I like white bread, and judging by the amount of it I see in the supermarket, so must a lot of my fellow Americans.

Given that Cuba was a brutal dictatorship under Batista (minus the improved healthcare, education) would you care to explain how Castro stole their freedom?

Improved healthcare? ROTFLMFAO... have you ever been to a communist or former communist country? You ever see what Communist hospitals looked like?

Education? How about indoctrination and perversion.

The biggest problem for former Communist countries is not the neglected, rotted, abysmal infrastructure... that can be fixed in 30 to 50-years.

The problem is the Brain **** these idiots have perpetrated on their citizens.

That Brain **** will take double or triple the time to extinguish. I know... I've worked with lots of former Communists.

The mentality created through Communism is one to behold, and most in the west simply wouldn't believe people could be so ****ed up... but they are.

Yes. The health service under Castro was an improvement from the right wing dictatorship of Batista before him.

Trumpists create their own realities in their fact free world of cynical pronouncements, declarations, diktats to deny deny deny to suit themselves.

Determinedly.

The deplorables but more so the despicables.

They certainly will.

The healthkare system... virtually worthless.

I did not vote for Trump. You wasted that round.

About your vote in this election.

Or in anything.

Fact is my round fired into a bull's eye.

Looking ahead to another ballentine as I did (once) on the firing range.

From a squat. Into a diddlysquat target.

Goodbye. You need to brush up your story to match your claims.

Uh-huh, you do indeed expect me to believe what you say.

The irony of it :lamo

Your sword is accepted as all of the Trumpist assinine [sic] make-it-up nonsense and summary-arbitrary dismissals and denials emanating from over there are ever the labors of boors.

Actually that is not true.

Yes, not true at all, on both counts: the Batista dictatorship was not "right-wing" - unless a corrupt unionist populist demagogue is somehow supposed to be "right-wing" - and, as a matter of fact, the pre-Batista and Batista Cuba had the best collection of medical professionals in the Western Hemisphere, spare Canada and US - no thanks to any socialist schemes, thanks to (that, long gone) Cuba having been a haven for professionals of all kinds fleeing the Nazi and Commie oppression.
