But Cubans have......something more than a corrugated
tin shack
You haven't seen much of Cuba have you pilgrim-in fact you've never seen Cuba at all-not even from 30,000' up like most people.
I have images of Cuban rural poverty that would turn most people's stomach but for reasons of my own won't put them up on the net-something to do with destroying people's dignity and providing ammunition for axe grinders of one stripe or the other.
I repeat-outside of a few show farms/potemkin villages rural Cubans live worse than most Canadian farm animals-this from someone who grew up up in a farm town.
Another angle-the ecological one is quite interesting.
One would think that the lack of industrialisation has helped preserve Cuba natural environment but sadly this isn't at all the case-people have literally eaten the land-consuming everything that isn't (literally in the case of some nature preserves) guarded @ gunpoint.
That which can't be consumed is discarded willy-nilly there to pollute until the end of time and no one cares.
