    The violence of the revolutionaries was aimed at the king's soldiers, not the fellow civilians disagreeing.

    O Rly?

    Won't even bother reading the rest, because you're a proven liar and most probably fat too.

    The Quebec referendum was allowed but the federal government never stated that they would recognize the result. As I understand it, the only law allowing the secession was a Quebec provincial law. The legality of the referendum was challenged after the fact:

    In 1998, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that Québec does not have the right to unilaterally secede from Canada. Nonetheless, the nine justices expressed the opinion that the other provinces and Ottawa would be obliged to enter into negotiations with Québec if voters in Québec unequivocally expressed their desire for independence by a clear majority

    Eeep, I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but marrying younger makes you far more likely to get divorced and end up in the "reject bin" you speak of. http://www.thecanadianencyclop... Much better advice (statistically), would be to suggest living with someone for several years BEFORE getting married.

    The reality is the cartels will legitimize and become legal corporations. Then the current cartel bosses will become legitimate respectable businessmen, just like the owners of many major liquor companies did after American prohibition in the 1930s. As an example, review of the Bronfman family of Montreal and their company, Seagrams, at one point the largest distilling company in the world. As an aside, it is also a good example, and a sad one, of the descendants completely fucking things up. Regardless, legalizing marijuana will create another case of history repeating itself.

    Cuban-Americans can trade, send money, etc., and trading food is permitted (although with heavy regulation by the US govt.): http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Programs/Documents/cuba.txt. The article says nothing about how many current businesses there are, though.

    These do not even talk about current businesses, which says a lot about your knowledge of Cuba... Tell me, how many businesses are trading with Cuba? Do they also trade with the US? If so, how are they permitted by the US govt.?

    Furthermore:

    Cuba is still designated a "State Sponsor of Terrorism" by the US, which complicates financial transactions with the island, and raising capital.

    Do you know what this means?

     

    The problem if any exists in Cuba lacking anything regarding trade is in their own corruption and government.

    You do not know what you are talking about. A simple google search found those in the first two pages.

    You, OTOH, seem to know a lot about Cuba... I guess you get your info from Fox News or CNN.
