Not to detract from your worthy cause, dude, but I was taken aback by the vehement objections to Castro reflected in your posts; here in the U.S., our liberal media worships him, and pushes the idea he is popular everywhere.
This causes extreme consternation amongst thoughtful people.
I am incredulous at people(s) who cannot see him for the monster he is.
Well I don't know too much about that. but i can't understand how they can think in that way. I guess they haven't seen or live what is like to live in a communist country without freedom speech and everything, where your food is being restricted per month and stuff likeQuote:

Why they worship castro?? don't know...........
I've always been a Castro supporter, although moreso in the past than now...
He was the one who 'saved' the people of Cuba from the Capitalist trap that was the American society. Not that I have anything against the American society; I'm as American as they come, except fot the fact that I live in Canada, but hey, what's the diff...?
Anyway, point being, American money-mongers wanted to turn Cuba into their own personal playground. They were putting up Casinos and paying the workers ridiculously low wages, expecting them to, in turn, spend those hard-earned dollars at those very Casinos! They were going to ruin the Cuban society by making them into Low-Class (poor) Americans. Castro led the revolution and freed the country, although it took a mighty tool on the substinance of the country....
I must say, I do not know much about what life is REALLY like under such a regime, only what the media portrais, which I doubt is anything like real life...
I would appreciate it if I could learn more about life under a regime like this from you both, dudevenezuela and nahan, although please spare my ignorant mind of excessive flaming. I know this is a touchy subject, but I would like to know what the true 'people's' stance is, and support IT to the fullest.
Thank you.

Well keep posting those pics...
venezuela has oil so someday you gonna attract Bush's attention, he will liberate you for oil... ehm, ..... to free you of Chavez!
Castro apparently falls victim to Miami radio prank
Wed Jun 18, 6:23 PM ET Add U.S. National - AFP to My Yahoo!
MIAMI (AFP) - Cuban leader Fidel Castro (news - web sites) apparently fell victim to a prank by a Miami radio station, and used crude expletives against Miami talk show hosts who led him to believe he was on the phone with his Venezuelan counterpart Hugo Chavez.
The recording of the conversation was repeatedly aired since Tuesday by the Spanish-language radio station El Zol 95.7, which had already played a similar prank on Chavez in January, pretending Castro was on the line.
The make-believe Chavez sought help from Castro in tracking down a suitcase containing secret documents he said he lost during the leaders' recent trip to Argentina.
Eventually, a man posing as a Chavez aide asked Castro: "Do you agree with the shit on the island, murderer?" and added, "You fell for it ... the whole of Miami is listening to you, Fidel Castro."
"What did I fall for, you shit," the irate Cuban leader answered, adding further crude expletives, including references to the anatomy of the host's mother.
"He used very obscene words the president of a country should never use," said the radio host Joe Ferrero said later.
Castro eventually hung up, ending the 25-minute conversation.
The radio station used the same technique it had employed for the Castro imitation in January, piecing together fragments from Chavez speeches.
Miami is home to close to 700,000 Cuban exiles and Cuban-Americans, many of whom staunchly oppose Castro's communist government.
