Comments on: Past Peak Oil in Cuba http://goodwordswan.wildflowerstew.com/2007/09/15/past-peak-oil-in-cuba/ "Us nature mystics got to stick together." -Edward Abbey Fri, 21 Nov 2008 12:39:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: walterlx http://goodwordswan.wildflowerstew.com/2007/09/15/past-peak-oil-in-cuba/#comment-27 walterlx Mon, 17 Sep 2007 13:23:19 +0000 http://goodwordswan.wildflowerstew.com/2007/09/15/past-peak-oil-in-cuba/#comment-27 Thanks for a most interesting report! I've taken and shared it with the subscribers to the CubaNews list, a free Yahoo news group which I've operated since August 2000. My father and his parents lived in Cuba from 1939 to 1942. They were German Jewish refugees from Hitler’s holocaust. That’s where my own interest in Cuba comes from. Cuban society today represents an effort to build an alternative to the way life was under the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Some things work, some don’t. It has its flaws and contradictions, as well as having some solid achievements. No society is perfect. But we can certainly learn a few things from Cuba’s experience. I think we can learn more than a few. The CubaNews list compiles a wide range of materials, pro and con, about Cuba, its people, politics and culture, and life within the island and affecting it in the Cuban diaspora abroad.
