Remember Elian?
He's 14 now and just joined the communist youth. I'm speculating he did so under threat. They told him to join, or else they would send him back to the U.S.

It's pretty amusing, actually, for the BBC to be quoting Cuba's Rebel Youth for a story. By the way, as most active babblers know, I've started a thread, that is now over 100 posts and into a second thread, on the very important issue of rounding up the Communists! Unfortunately, the BBC story isn't quite idiotic enough to merit addition to that thread. Only REALLY pathological anti-communism, the kind that sometimes causes one to laugh out loud, belongs on that thread. There's plenty of that to go around for a very, very, very, long time. I must admit, however, that a photograph of a trembling Elian facing a machine-gun toting gunman is a clever touch on a story ostensibly about the boy joining a youth political organization. I'm sure it will help readers of the BBC website to come to the "correct" conclusions while adjusting the strap on their Pith Helmets. God save the Queen.

You mean like their free choice in Haiti to chow down on clay in order to stave off hunger just 55 miles from Cuba? And we know now that even eating sanitized dirt in Haiti has become a luxury item on store shelves. Haiti, the "freest trading nation in the Carribe", according to the wolves in Warshington. Little pigs, little pigs, let me come IN!!! noooooo not by the hairs of our chinny chin-chins!! [ 17 June 2008: Message edited by: Fidel ]
