EDUCATION ON THE WEB
There's so much on the Web that it's like being in the biggest library in the world and finding that the rows of book stretch on infinitely.

I came across a good article which explains Fidel and Castro quite easily, easy for anyone, that's anyone to understand. The name of the man is: Freidrich A. Hayek. Just enter that into your Search Engine.

Here's an example of what goes on in many homes in Cuba: you go to the bathroom, only the water is turned off at that time of day. Now, whether you pee or poop, there it sits. If someone else needs to go too, then more of it awaits a time when the water is turned on and you can flush the toilet.

It doesn't make for gracious living, does it? But, that's only one of the problems. Now, unless you're a twit and you don't keep a neat and clean home, a stinkin' mess in the bathroom would be rather annoying.

When the water is turned off, it also means no water to do the dishes in the kitchen, nor to get a cool glass of water, or to take a shower or a bath. After some years of this, you find that you really don't need a daily bath or shower, so your your appearance is not as nice as you'd like.

There are many other things wrong, too many of them to even make a list, but because this great genius, Fidel, is the darling of some movie producers (and they're the ones who proclaimed him a genius) all of this is overlooked.

Nowhere to turn, the government doesn't care, nor the local Revolutionary committe, so you put up with the inconvenience for years and years and years. The only way you resolve it is to take an ocean voyage in an inner tube, a risky venture at best, but there's no other alternative for you.
