what are you smoking? If you've ever been to Cuba (and I have been, because my government allows me to) you would have seen that even if the people there are not rich, there are no beggars or homeless people, all children go to school, there is no unemployment and everybody gets medical treatment for free.
Compare this with e.g. colombia and stop your uninformed trolling about "slave states". there is no free speech, but what means free speech when you starve ?
An btw the percentage of children which die in the first years (don't know the term) is in Cuba less then in any american country (including the US)

The Euro

You are not right, when you state that the German Governmentpolitically controls the European Central Bank, that's not true, as it is an institution of the EU.
But certainly Germany is economically the most powerful of the participating countries and tries to get the financial politics under its control. The "stability rules" which all participating countries have to follow, were forced upon them by the export-oriented politics of Germany.
When the decision for the Euro was made, the French government tried to get equal power as Germany, and then proposed that the ECB should be located in Germany, but its president should be french. So even when it's a dutchman now it was a victory for the German government to show France, that it will be in the second row in future Europe.
This is just a hint, how german dominated the EU is. I'm german myself, so I can say this unbiased.
Oh and you shouldn't forget that the Deutschmark is/was official currency in occupied Kosovo and in pro-forma-yugoslavian (sp?) Montenegro, and is still inofficial currency in large part of Eastern Europe.
Some historians think, that the economic control of Eastern Europe which Hitler tried to get by occupation has now been achieved by Germany through the backdoor.
It is sad to see that the US goes the European way regarding civil liberties. Many people tend to think that europe is more-crypto friendly or so, because the german government sponsors GnuPG.
But Germany is the country with the most tapped phones per 1000 inhabitants in the whole world, and still growing.
That they fund GnuPG hast something to do with the fact, that the european industry is afraid of Echelon.
But the government is really eager nowadays to enforce an Orwellian police state.
If you are able to understand german, there are some disturbing articles at telepolis about the new European cyber-police called Enfopol.
Anybody know a country which doesn't sacrifice freedom to "fight terrorism" these days ?
