The less you have the simpler life is.

Try it. Do you have boxes of stuff you have no idea what’s in them. Well, if you have been doing fine without the box of stuff, chances are you don’t need it, so chuck it.

Outward clutter is a reflection of our inward being. Decluttering your living space will declutter your being and you wil begin to live simpler and more likely a longer life.

It’s been proven that extreme caloric restrictions, like under 1500 calories a day, will lead to an extended life span. Who knew communist society could be so good for you!

It was rarely mentioned that Castro provided health care to his country......All slave owners care for their property.

Starting tomorrow we force Doctors, Nurses and Caretakers to work for slave wages.....Too late. They don’t have a MINIMUM wage, but the do have a maximum wage law. Doctors, grocery laborers and prostitutes make the same.

When you eliminate the "affluence" and "recreational" related causes of death in the US - since Cuba's brutal Communist repression has eliminated both "affluence" and "recreation." - you'll find Cuba's health care "miracle" is bullshit.

Poverty have forced the population to live without an excess of food, alcohol and tobacco and few family cars - while a police state has denied them the drugs (legal & illegal) that are widely used in the US.

Voila! Lower death from diabetes, cancer, car accidents, drug use, etc..

“living” in cuba is very different than living in a free country. Give me the free country anytime.

How in the hell do they think that they get honest statistics from the Castro regime?
