Thinking, again

Welcome Cuba!And thank you for welcoming us.
Or not.
Repressing your people is still not cool.
We have many of your past residents enjoying their freedom free will and their ability to be financially rewarded for their positive effects on our country by what they chose to do.
Our opening of relations with you is a bit like perestroika, just like it actually if you take advantage of it: for those of you whom may have forgotten:

"pe·re·stroi·ka
