    If so, he would have used their support from the begining. It took a long time for him to reach power, including several failed revolutions.


    If he had come out as Socialist as soon as he wanted to be a big bad dictator, he risked the US really invading, not a few people here and there, but a wham bam, there's your star on the flag invasion.

    Not all things socialist, are evil, if I thought that I couldn't even live in the US. By the way, labelling me a racist because I happen to disagree with you is just wrong.

    I've heard of the Bay of Pigs and School of the Americas. Perhaps, not ALL of the citizens of Cuba preferred being under a socialist(communist, whatever) dictator.

    So Cuba didn't have missiles? Well that's relaxing to know.

    You're saying that Castro came to power, then courted USSR, I'm saying he was going to become a part of the Soviet Bloc from the beginning.

    That said, I'm not in favor of the embargo. The fastest way to have Castro overthrown is to flood his country with US citizens and their dollars.

    My guess is Ticketmaster owns them on the concert tour route.

    Silly artists, read your contracts, before signing.

  5. Uh okay. on SCO Protest And Anti-Protest In Provo · · Score: 1

    Cuba only embraced the USSR after Castro was in power, after Castro decided that having power was too good of a thing to let go.

    If the US really wanted to invade Cuba and take over, we'd have a 51st right now.

    It's very hard to censor a network with no servers, no administrators, and no controlling entity.



    No servers? Then how does it serve content?

  8. Double speak... on Open Source Text-Books in California? · · Score: 1
    COSTP could, within 6-8 years, save California up to $400M


    This kind of talk about future savongs always makes my bullcrap meter go off the charts. Why is it taking 6-8 years? And in 9 years if it's still losing money what then?

  12. Re:China and Human Rights Abuse on SMS, SARS, And Censorship · · Score: 1

    Yeah I'd like some proof too. I mean if we were bombing the Cubans, the USSR would have raised a big stink in the UN. Plus why would we go from Covert actions like the Bay of Pigs to bombing and not finish the job????

    Cuba is not that big, so 'hiding' the bombing I don't think was feasible.

    How did the DOT get around the unions with this? Certainly going from 15 union guys to 2 union guys can't be what the union would want.

    Easy to say, not so hard to do. I've given up on finding a white-collar job. I apply to every blue collar job I can find. Nothing. Apparently I am too qualified for a blue collar job. People get the impression that with my degree, I'll be out the door once a better opportunity comes along.

    I'm one of those that made 30k a year, and I haven't recovered well at all either. Not everyone out there looking for IT work was a 19 year no college, this startup is great white-collar worker. I joined an established company in my mid 20's with a 4 year degree, in IT. And it's been 18+ months.
