I ...Too bad the comment section was closed so soon. I emmigrated from Havana as a young child with my family. My parents were apolitical lawyers but my uncle was the attorney general under Batista. We barely got out on a ferry to Miami. My uncle snuck out via the <br>Chilean embassy. I have several uncles and aunts who were doctors, lawyers, scientists, etc. who all left Cuba. Why? There was no entreprenuerial spirit left in the country in a socialist/communist economic system. There was no reward for the hard work their professions required. Multiply this by hundreds of thousands and see what happens to an economy. And I am not talking about just highly educated people. Small business people, ranchers, farmers, anyone with 'means of production' lost what little they had. As I left Paris, France many years ago as an American undergraduate studying abroad, I met a French panhadler at the fountan of St Michele. I was surprised to learn he was a Cuban immigrant. He left Cuba years before after Fidel and his cronies took away his chicken farm or polleria. His case was all too common. Although many of those who first left Cuba were white and well off many more Cubans of many colors left soon after. I would enjoy discussing what your parents felt about Cuba in the days they visited there. It was a very complex situation politically and socially. I am not so certain that the mob had as much influence as is imagined on society in Havana.Tudurihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17001485320543752420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19925757.post-75398868042010373752011-03-07T12:30:07.657-05:002011-03-07T12:30:07.657-05:00Great analysis!

The doctor was very sympathetic, but offered the folowing to my, "Well, what's the good news, Doc?" "Sorry to say, there isn't any good news - he is anemic, could not survive the operation and the loss of his back legs is irreversable."<br><br>I fought back the tears and all I could say was something stupid..."I trust you, Doctor."<br><br>(What?)<br><br>So I packed my 85 pound Buddy back to the car and said..."NO!" It is not going to be that easy for the reaper to steal him. I changed his diet to chicken breast and rice, three times a day and he ate like a horse, gaining the 20 pounds back (now 105 - his original weight) and the degeneration of the film around his nervous system seemed to be arrested.<br><br>Oh, I prayed too. I told God just in case He wasn't aware, that I was "open" to miracles. I am certain Max does not have alot of time left and I don't think it was just the food that helped his recent recovery. <br><br>After we went home I started talking to him like never before, letting him know what an important part of my life he truly was and how much I loved him. I asked him to stay for just a little longer, that we could very much enjoy whatever time he (or I) had left.<br><br>He now comes to me more than before, waits outside of my closed door, and "hugs" me whenever I greet him.

I hope to adapt some of it to solve the problem I related to you yesterday should I ever be given an openning.<br><br>But, as you may already know, I'm wary about referring to the Democrats in government as if they are the sole source of our threats.<br><br>The leadership of the GOP -- not all of the GOP -- exudes a complacency in the face of distortions and outright lies that are greatly troubling. If the Right leadership is what effectively IS the Right (not the people), then a great many are without representation AT ALL. Their interests are then much more narrowed. It, aided by some pundits, winds up running interference for the other side, and gives the appearance that they are silent partners to a ruse. Hence what propels Tea Party type thinking.<br><br>What with moneyed interests giving to both parties, such is even to be expected. The lacking of candor and openness regarding that fact (it's vaguely acknowledged when admitted at all) adds to the likelihood that such interference we see is precisely the quo that the quid was meant to produce.<br><br>My observations have led me to the conclusion that the two aisles, allegedly in opposition with the job of representing great ideologies, are acting more like two hands of the State. It is most evident where the party leadership sets most of the agenda, and those that buck their controls are endangered when it comes time to dole out party funds. (Always was that way too, don't see a solution except not to send money to the party leadership when they fail to follow what once were core principles -- the inroads of incremental "progressiveness").<br><br>The Left and Right can be viewed as the essential tools of those who yearn for Statist controls upon the sovereign people. The Leftist media maintains the appearances that the two hands are representatives of the people, but they have become effectively the hand of rulers in the throes of empire building.<br><br>There are very many ways to achieve despotic rule, but being able to threaten lives through access to health care is certainly going to be a major asset to the Statists.<br><br>I like your lifesaving analogy a great deal. I suspect other of your observations can be rendered down to other analogies just as good.Pascal Fervorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00303025432356543062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19925757.post-86989055746800427972011-03-07T12:28:49.986-05:002011-03-07T12:28:49.986-05:00I wondered when someone would make the connection ...I wondered when someone would make the connection from 0bama to "Being There".<br><br>Heh.

Given that I do not post under my own real name it would be ill mannered at best and foolish in all likelihood to use this form to post anonymous criticisms of identifiable persons. Besides my concerns are the larger issues and not my own annoyance. I am not that important.<br><br>The woman who found me socially unacceptable because I did not share her faith was another guest and not the person who sent the invitations. Her issues can be speculated on but let it be noted that while I did not date her or "make a pass" we had been friendly and she panicked. Passive aggression, incipient spinsterhood or extended emotional residence in High School are all possible explanations. She had many good qualities that were obviously overshadowed by an immature retreat into bigotry. <br><br>That was many months ago and given the relentless social networking that substitutes for achievement among those who think that they can tally up points for "social intelligence" the circle of our mutual acquaintances I had met on the campaign dwindled from a focus of my social life to a mere occasional observation. Given this event I would say that my social relationship with these people is now at an end.<br><br>The person who objected to my eating, really very strange if you saw me you would understand that "glutton" is as far from me as you can get, "ascetic" is closer to the mark, was a completely different person. She is an older woman. The following is purely speculation on my part. I was possibly the only single heterosexual male present I believe except maybe for an elderly gentleman and also someone's grandchild. The woman who challenged me is I believe a dominant lesbian and her hostility may have been stimulated by seeing me engaged in conversation with a young actress. Given that I try not to make a fool of myself pursuing women less then half my age any jealousy would have been uncalled for. It is also possible that had nothing to do with it and she was simply a free floating control freak who happened to seize on me as an object to attempt to bully.<br><br>As a former military officer and former law enforcement officer I was able to make it quite clear how displeased I was and why, without at any time engaging in a confrontation that could have been held against me. My biggest annoyance now is the realization that I left a good umbrella there.<br><br>My wish would have been that the other people present, if they were of the character that we need to associate with, should have seen how I was treated and left immediately. The fact that they did not speaks badly for them.<br><br>The event does not reflect on any larger organization except insofar as those present are members or volunteers of such organizations.<br><br>Thank you both very much for your comments.LifeoftheMindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08332328377169650229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19925757.post-4430335779228646412011-03-07T12:28:48.678-05:002011-03-07T12:28:48.678-05:00LOTM,I discussed this story to a blog-friend, Og t...LOTM,<br><br>I discussed this story to a blog-friend, Og the Neanderpundit. He wanted to post, but you have comments limited only to blogger accounts. That isn't necessary, as I don't make that a requirement at my site and so I know it works.<br><br>Anyway, here's Og's comment.<br><br>I have not visited this blog before, so please pardon me if I speak with unnecessary rudeness, or out of turn. <br><br> Myself, I would not have posted this story without the name and address AND EMAIL, if possible, of the offending member. First of all, to tell you you were of the wrong faith, she should be b****slapped.<br><br>And to then be rude at you about eating, as if you were some kind of glutton, I'd invite her with some degree of vigor to pi** up a rope.<br><br>And illustrate for her a manner in which that could be accomplished. <br><br><br>This kind of BS is typical of the type of passive-aggressive interference with the process of conservatives acting in concert. <br><br>Og<br><br>This is Pascal now with my 2¢.<br> <br>I find it hard to believe that this sort of thing could happen without the approval of those higher up in the organization. For them, indeed for EVERYONE to remain silent while that woman made a scene is very unusual, and so it is hard to believe it was not deliberately staged to get the "outsider" to leave. <br><br>Personally, I couldn't do what Og suggests, but I do believe those who have the confidence should.Pascal Fervorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00303025432356543062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19925757.post-38164034683557030072011-03-07T12:28:44.764-05:002011-03-07T12:28:44.764-05:00I'm sorry to learn of your deep loss.Just know...I'm sorry to learn of your deep loss.<br><br>Just know there is a place in God's place and heart for your best friend.<br><br>Papa RayPapa Rayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11454201360366303944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19925757.post-34552789085168802012011-03-07T12:28:34.506-05:002011-03-07T12:28:34.506-05:00I did not see your comment over at my site and apo...I did not see your comment over at my site and apologize for not welcoming you and responding earlier. <br><br>I have responded now.<br><br>best<br><br>Viktorviktor silohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17564593406229397540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19925757.post-13474023310673796802011-03-07T12:28:30.228-05:002011-03-07T12:28:30.228-05:00Condolences about the four footed friend.
