She went with a non profit organizationt o build playgrounds for children.

The workers paradise is unable to provide playgrounds on their own?

My friend said it seemed as though debate is very much alive in Cuba

But if you debate in opposition to Castro you go to jail.

My friend aske dwhy he doesnt just pocket the money and he said " I believe it is wrong to make a profit and leave my co-workers behind."

The real answer is, 'if I got caught I would go to jail.'

Also, she said that many in Cuba told her being gay is no big deal, and She staye dnear a gay club that was open at all hours of the night. So all of the capitlaist fear mongering about Cuba hating gays appears to be trash.

I heard a report on NPR Monday evening from Cuba about the poor treatment of gays and their complaint that they have "no clubs of their own." And that what they have to do is congregate in a public square and before long the police break it up and arrest many of them. Would NPR lie to us about this? Or would the DUmmie lie about it?

Also, she said she never saw any large gap between classes in Cuba.

Yes, the misery is spread equally.

there is definately freedom of religion. She saw a fully operational Baptists and Catholic Church with paritioners and you could hear singing and praising coming from the churches.

Won't dare step into a Church and talk to people. Drive-by assessment?

DUmmies are too dumb to realize when they're being shown a dog-n-pony show instead of reality.
