I didn't mean to compare Cuba to N. Korea in every sense but since I do live in Miami and have many Cuban friends, I have heard horror stories you wouldn't believe. I am good friends with this former olympic athlete, and he told me about things they did to him that I was shocked of.
How they went into his home, kidnapped him and would torture him to scare him from defecting since he traveled all over the world. He eventually did defect through Panama during the games, made his way to Mexico and payed coyotes to cross him in through Texas.
He said he cried the first time he saw a grocery store, he wasn't aware that so much food was available to everyone. He also caught 3 ducks in his apt complex with his uncle because he thought his uncle could cook them up since in Cuba they are "good eating"...lol
I know America isn't perfect, but I love this country and the life it gives me. I have lived in many places and I'm happy here.
