, commenting on The Political Voices of Women blog: br> /p> blockquote>Let me add this about Cuba; say what you will about it but remember this: there is or was a billboard up in a main square in Havana that read (s): p>"In the world today millions of children sleep in the streets. br> NOT ONE IS CUBAN." /p>Consider that every year in the Third World some 12 million people die of starvation, tens of millions die from preventable and curable disease and roughly half the world barely exists on $1-2.00 a day.
None of this happens to anyone in Cuba.
So how appropriate is talk of so-called "freedom and democracy" in Cuba in light of those facts?
