re: #20 alegrias

Speaking of Fidel’s cigars, why is it that most beautiful places in the world are such shitholes? Havana, the jewel of the Caribbean is a communist paradise. Venezuela has more Miss Universes than any other country, yet is run by this puppet-faced two-bit dictator. China has one of the richest cultures in all the world and also one of the worst human rights records. And then there is pretty much all of Africa. Is there any nation in Africa with a stable government? Oh, I forgot Russia, One of my favorite nations, history wise. Peter the Great drains a swamp at the mouth of the Neva and builds one of the most beautiful cities in the world. A country on the verge of collapsing back into communism. Seems like all my favorite places suck.
