Bill, how can you say that? Have you really seriously thought about this?

There are plenty of things that get said in this forum that would land a
Cuban in jail.

There are huge numbers of books on sale at Amazon that the government of
Cuba wouldn't let its people read.

This country has its flaws, no doubt. But you can at least learn just about
any ideas you want to learn and the list of things that you can say that
would land you in jail is pretty short I think.

Plus, their is this not-so-small matter of personal property.
