Yes, I agree the embargo hurt innocent Cubans, but what's the alternative? Castro didn't leave us a lot of choice. Yes, America wants it's enemies, real or perceived. That's how the military machine stays in motion. It is very sad. War is business. He went far beyond that. Look up the firing squads. He made it clear immediately that he had no intentions of giving up power, or holding elections. Not only did he kill his opposition, but he had many revolution supporters shot as well, because he thought they held too much power. He ripped children from the arms of their parents at will. He stole property and wealth on a whim. He was your average megalomaniac dictator, nothing better. My point is that the mere passing of time should not lesson the actions of a tyrant. Let's just hope that Cubans can have a better future starting now.

Have a fantastic day! Don't think of it as two away from 30. Think of it as your first Birthday as a home owner. (I had to type home 3 times before not putting a second 'o' where the 'e' goes. Habits ya know.)

Why are you still here Astrolube69? No one agrees with anything you say, your opinions are ridiculous, you're constantly berated, you have no fashion sense (OK I guessed on that one), and you're just generally not welcome here... So what keeps you coming back? Oh, wait. I've known guys like you...

I'm not sure how much people know about Castro and the revolution, but for all his promises of free elections and a better life for Cubans, he ended up being worse than Batista. He was a terrorist and a dictator. I put him on par with Idi Amin.

Stealth is the name of the game when you need to knock Brent over without him knowing it wasn't his own fault.

Is Ramen theft that prevalent in Seattle?

I never thought of Joanne as being short, but I had no idea.

That's my kind of simplicity Grahame!

I have no idea how to read that. I can barely slap one of these together on a breadboard...

This thread has become un-readable with all the dumbass comments. Dusty, Dan...can we get a cleanup on isle 4?

Yummm!!!

Ouch! Another piece of my childhood. R.I.P. Florence.

Who's cookin' the turkey and biscuits?

I have nothing to say about that.

The first thought that ran through my head was... Wow, Peter Max did sound wave art? (Look him up youngsters).

It is my honest opinion that any man having to live with any type of floral fabric, anywhere in the house, deserves a pair of speakers of his choosing.

Ah yes, I see the resemblance to the VPI Player model.

Any thoughts? https://www.shinola.com/audio.html?gclid=CK_yv8_kutACFdgSgQodzP8KZw

I think a wife would be less thrilled about something that looks like you're repairing the plumbing on your house, than a big rectangular panel.

There's a fine line between good sex and murder.

We only ponder the hundreds of ways to season cast iron. We don't actually cook with it!

But you can ram too much!

Happy Birthday!

Indeed.
