Your posts on Cuba would have more credibility if you didn't appear to

be such a slavish follower of every public utterance. When Fidel
Castro

(and Hugo Chavez) spoke nonsense about 9/11, you parroted their
analysis 
without ever giving any indication that you had thought seriously
about

the whole question.

CB: Trouble with this is that its question begging: You haven't
demonstrated that your thinking on 9/11 is better than that of Fidel
Castro and Chavez. Given the historical record on most issues, I'll
take
Castro and Chavez's thinking first.  Absolute anti-conspiracism is not
superior thinking. It is refusal to think. 

"Think for yourself" is a Kantian , liberal mantra. The criticism "so
and so doesn't think for himself" is a liberal taunt , not an
indication
of better thinking.

 Two heads are better than one.
