House lifts ban on travelling to Cuba

[KevinTheOmnivore]

The vast amounts of starving people in Cuba is an interesting argument, because while I sincerely know that I'd rather live in a free society, it seems silly to argue that Castro is starving everyone to death. Fact is, Cubans are right there with us in statistics such as IMR, health, age expectations, etc. If Cubans are starving to death, what's happening here...? In many ways, the embargo has helped Cuba, because it has kept American GE mutant products and fast food chains out of the country. It has enabled them to boost their agricultural sector.

Now, again, I'd rather live in a society with more potential of upward mobility, as well as one where I have at least the option to eat that nasty McDonald's food, but you get the point.
