Travel Ban and other stuff to ponder

Just read an interesting LA Times editorial talking about the travel ban as an "unjustifiable restraint on the freedom of U.S. citizens". I would have to agree with that. Why fly 2 or 3 hours to San Juan, the Virgin or Leeward Islands when you can be in Varadero in less than an hour and spend less than you would elsewhere.

With the aging exile community still running this town, how long must the long list of 1st generation US born cuban-americans here in Miami have to wait before we can start making our own decisions without the old timers input. Oops..better be careful what I say before I get labeled a commie. If you'd poll the children of exiles who came to this country form 1959 up to before Mariel, I think the overwhelming number of them would say the embargo is a joke and lets try something else. The only problem with that is that they would feel bad telling their folks what they really feel which in turn could hurt their parents feelings as well.
