#1 1 word "capitalism"; another word "freedom". Does the rest of the article mean anything?

#2 It sounds as if Fidel may grasp supply and demand on his death bed.

#3 Castro wrote in the latest of the essays he has been writing every few days.

Sure beats the hell out of listening to one of his four hour speeches.

#4 Well, since their health care system is so much better than ours, I guess the doctors are just trying to help us out. Surely Michael Moore wouldn't complain.

#5 Cuban doctors get $20/month and all the chicken feet they can eat. What more could they possibly want?

#6 Doctors should have the same ability as anyone else to legally enter the U.S.

However, we should be generating enough homegrown doctors not to depend on foreign imports, like the U.K. is apparently doing.

#7 A German OB-Gyn who works in Namibia has encountered the Cuban physicians. He referst to them as "Cuban quacks." 'Nuff said.

#8 dang it, Gary, stole my thunder!

I'm so confused because Michael Moore is telling me that Cuba's health care system is the TOPS! Why would these docs (even if they are quacks) be voting with their feet? Oh, whom to believe, Michael Moore or Fidel?

#9 The zombie in charge of Cuba wants all the brains for himself. Brainssss.
