That whole conscience thing is evidently over-rated.

There are a whole lot of folks in the US of A who escaped from Coooba, and I'd bet most of them have a different point of view than many of you.
I know a couple of them and they don't paint as rosy of a picture of cooba and their gubmint as you folks do.

Buy hey, if you don't have a problem with a gubmint taking away freedom and rights of an oppressed people, and if you have become so spoiled that you have completely taken for granted the freedoms you have to the point where they are of no value anymore, knock yourself out.

My mother-in-law's family barely escaped the bolshevik revolution with their lives, leaving everything they owned behind as they fled to China to keep from being murdered by the commies.
The same ones that propped up the communist gubmint in cooba. The sames ones that nearly wiped out 3/4 of the US in 1963 with nukes when that drugged-out maniac kennedy pushed his luck too far and gambled with our lives and future.
The same place where 80% of all industries and manufacturing is controlled and owned by the communist government, where 80% of all jobs are working for the gubmint.
A place where only 20% of GDP is industrial but 75% is gubmint service based.
A place where the GDP is around $9k per capita, and much of that is from exports and tourism by people who don't give a crap about freedom or the people trapped under that oppressive regime.

MRM was spot on, but unlike him I have no problem passing judgment on people who take freedom for granted. Try living without it for a while.

My mother-in-law hates communism with a passion and loves the USA. She knows what freedom is all about and she appreciates it.
She knows what it's like to do as she wishes, and she also knows what it's like to have a gubmint take away everything her family ever had.
We could all earn a lesson from folks like her.
