I started reading this in amusement, awaiting the punchline to his "joke" but then I realized this buffoon is seriously believes that what he saw in Cuba is the reality of the day to day lives of the people of the island.
What he did was go to my country, enjoy a few days in the sun having fun in a select number of areas reserved for tourists and the small group of people that help Castro maintain the reign of terror that has plagued the island for 50 years and he comes back to the US to tell us how great things are in Cuba?
Give me a break; I'll tell Mr. Marzolla something, I can give him my uncle's address in Matanzas, he will gladly put him up for a year at no charge, that way he can see the reality of the Cuban "revolution" The only thing I ask in return is that he leaves his dollars at home and only take one or two changes of clothes, after all that's pretty much what Cubans own. I have to warn him, he'll go hungry, water and electricity will be scarce and he will pretty much be living in under third world country conditions.
Oh and a memo to Mr. Marzolla, the great education system in Cuba is no longer, people don't want to become teachers, they make more money driving taxi cabs collecting tips. I went to school there in the 60's, back then it was good; when I visited in 2003 I saw a lot of classrooms where kids were being taught by a television while an aide oversaw the class. Look at his pictures of the Cuban classroom, one outdated computer for all the kids? Don't forget that Cuba had the highest standard of living of all the countries in the Caribbean and of a lot of other Latin American countries before Castro and 50 years later the country is in shambles (well, not according to Mr. Marzolla.
The health system is also great, but only for tourists and the small class of privileged Cubans, the rest of the population's care is dismal, pretty much worse than that of Haiti.
I think Mr. Marzolla should definitely go back to Cuba to see how the other 98% lives.
