[Hoot Gibson]

Can I ask you this: the idea that resources ought not be exploited by foreign corporations while the native peoples struggle to have drinkable water... is that a communistic idea? In other words, while I may not "like" Chavez or Castro in terms of essential liberties infringement, the fact that I might find certain of their ideas interesting, if not just, that doesn't make me an "undeclared" communist, except in some sort of Bizarro either/or intellectual world that voids balance and true reason.

If you want to do some research, you will find the most polluted environments in the world are those governed by totalitarian regimes. You will also find that the most oppressed poor people of the world live under the jackboots of thugs like Castro and Chavez. Happy people do not try to ride a '59 Buick across shark infested waters to reach the freedom of the American shore.

Exile activist says Cubans in floating Buick are sent back to Cuba, car sunk

The '59 Buick converted into a boat and headed to Florida Keys with 11 Cuban migrants onboard has been sunk by the U.S. Coast Guard and those onboard will be taken back to Cuba, according to an exile activist in Key West.

The U.S. Coast Guard Wednesday morning refused to comment on the fate of the car, citing a policy not to comment on an "ongoing mission.''
