"Dr" Castro?Gotta mention the free health care! Hey, you left out "100% literacy!" Posted by thibodeaux on Sep. 09 2010,16:14
So wait: it's "Dr Castro" all the way through, except for the last time, it's "Mr Castro?"And what's with this sentence? QUOTE The Cuban state...[pays] workers salaries of about $US20 ($21.82) a month in return for free healthcare and education, and nearly free transportation and housing. So the workers give the state free goodies and get paid in return? WTF? Good thing this wasn't on a blog; you don't get high-quality, layers-of-editorial-oversight copy like that on a blog.

I understood it as low salaries "in exchange for" free healthcare/education,etc. Like that's why salaries are so low. Posted by thibodeaux on Sep. 09 2010,17:57
I understood it too; it's still poorly worded.

I can't figure out why nobody buys newspapers anymore.

Admittedly that one was Australian, so....I still subscribe to the WSJ. The only paper worth a damn as far as I'm concerned. Posted by thibodeaux on Sep. 10 2010,05:39
It was an AP article.
