I seriously doubt that you know what you believe and nobody asked you. Believe this: you get points off here for bad punctuation, mis-capping, and mis-spelling - especially intentional, cutsie, cyberspeak bullshit, like "lata", and "ya". Fucking please.

Pretentiousness won't get you very far either. Were you to spend even a 1/2 day on the internet educating yourself about the history between Cuba and the US, you'd know more than me. I know relatively little about this relationship, so your comments, which indicate that you know even less, seem uniformed, insulting, and they stereotype; e.g., "Cubans, banana boat, etc."

So, to paraphrase mauied1101, STFU, stop trying to impress, read, take some suggestions from some of these guys, beginning with a suggested smoke, sit back and relax and enjoy. Educate yourself - start with " . . . all politics is local." It'll help you out of that quagmire. Welcome and congratulations on the sobriety thing.
