I'll tell you what the difference is. My parents and their families had houses and a private school and a LIFE there and it WAS ALL TAKEN away from them by force. TAKEN AWAY, EVERYTHING. Literally left with the clothes on their backs. And they came here. I was born here. So the only damn good thing about that government is that I was born here free and am an American. Everything you said is all common knowledge, and teaches nothing. You shouldn't make assumptions before making comments like that. In the world of my family, one big HELL OF A DIFFERENCE.

Your self-imposed embargo, just like the U.S. one, isn't doing anything to hurt the Cuban government, only the Cuban people.
The Cuban government has never benefited one bit from any trip I've taken to Cuba. But every time I've gone, I've brought a suitcase full of cough syrup, ibuprofen, toothpaste, shampoo, clothes, baseball gloves, etc. that I gave away to the wonderful people there that barely have enough to survive. They are barely surviving, partly because of the embargo. The other part, of course, is their government. But you and I can't do anything about their government. We CAN do something about the embargo. -Ryan |

Understand what you say. However, since they did what they did to my parents and their parents and other family, my SELF IMPOSED emargo(as you call it) to them stands.
