Mercy, please don't take it personal. I felt upset, yes, because many people talk about democracy and freedom in Cuba and they have no idea of what they are talking about. You have to live here to know the truth.

The example of the States was my own example. This is because they (the officials, not the people) have been promoting many ways to set the Cubans free and that is one thing that bothers me. War, intervention, etc. in a way for many years they have been in war against us and one of the examples is the Embargo law. Do anyone here knows that Cuba is not allowed to buy medicines for children with cancer in the States? Do anyone here knows that we are not allowed to do any kind of transaction in USD and because of this the country suffers great losses of money every day? that they can't sell equipment that we need in the hospitals or any other? so, this is part of the embargo law. This is why I get upset when I hear people saying free Cuba or something and the greatest part of it all has been promoted by the States itself.
Your opinions were just other opinions among many others than just like you don't know the whole reality of my country. But above all that, you having different opinions, we are all colleagues and as I said before, I hate politics and we are here not to change the world but to exchange and learn from each other. If anyone felt insulted, please, forgive me; I was just mentioning some facts.
