Before I joined you all, I was wasting my time on FB, trying to educate my "friends" on the evils of Democratic Socialism which is regurgitated Communism. I was shunned and blocked. Only one, Margarita, who escaped Cuba with her parents as a child supported me. Her father was thrown in prison for not joining Castro's PCC party. Her family's assets were seized and upon departure from the island, her mother's sole possession, her wedding band, was removed from her finger before she could board the plane. That is Communism.

I became friends with one of the "Cuban boat people"; he was developmentally disabled and was as innocent as a newborn. He honestly had no concept of "why" he was exiled. He was solely focused on getting a new toothbrush. This was in southern Florida, early 90's. He was relegated to a state mental facility. So sad.
