As of the last meeting of the U.N. General Assembly in 2009 to vote on the issue of the U.S. imposed trade embargo against Cuba, 187 countries have voted against it, while only 3 have voted in keeping it in place, the U.S., Israel, and the Palau islands.

"To reserve to the U.S. the faculty of deciding for themselves when independence in Cuba is menaced and when therefore they ought to intervene, to preserve it, is equivalent to delivering up the key of our house so that they can enter it at all hours when the desire takes them, day or night."

Cuban senator Juan Gualberto Gómez on the Platt Amendment. The Monroe Doctrine, created by and for the U.S., also gives itself the right to militarily intervene throughout Latin America at will.

U.S. Secretary of State James Blaine wrote in 1881 of Cuba: "that rich island, the key to the Gulf of Mexico, and the field for our most extended trade in the Western Hemisphere, is, though in the hands of Spain, a part of the American commercial system...If ever ceasing to be Spanish, Cuba must necessarily become American and not fall under any other European domination."

President Eisenhower's National Security Council discussing the Cuban trade embargo:

"The only predictable measure we have today to alienate internal support for the Revolution is through disillusionment and desperation, based on dissatisfaction and economic duress. Every possible means should be undertaken promptly to weaken the economic life of Cuba. Money and supplies must be denied to Cuba in order to decrease real wages, bring about hunger, desperation and the overthrow of government."

Freiwilliges Engagement ist ein wahrer Ausdruck der kommunistischen Einstellung gegenüber Arbeit!

Volunteering is a true expression of communist attitude towards work!

El voluntariado es una verdadera expresión de la actitud comunista hacia el trabajo!

Frivilligt arbejde er det sande udtryk for kommunismens holdning til arbejde!

Ernesto Che Guevara

Let's put it this way. Some people will make a quadruple billion dollars while others who work just as hard make barely enough to feed themselves and that is a fact of life. I do not like it but will only say that I feel those with that much money should take it upon themselves to help ease the burden of those less fortunate, those dying of disease, of hunger, of poverty and misery, rather than superficial and material comforts spent lavishly on themselves.

That people want to live vicariously through athletes and entertainers is another matter. The fact that it exists means that there's something to it. Tiger Woods stands out, I don't. I don't think you can blame him, though. We might be doing the same if we'd lead the life he's lead. People care about golf. He should be able to profit from it if he chooses. Teaching people not to value entertainment as much as global human rights is the way, blaming Tiger isn't. (Not that you were).
