[lbo-talk] The Cuba Petition

[andie nachgeborenen]

It's not that I diasgree with it, but I don't see the point; it's merely some sort of internal exercise on the American left. If we want to make a difference to those unjustly imprisoned, AI letters are much much more effective (I am trying to get names from AI now). This is rather a gesture that is upposed to say -- to whom? -- I guess to the "democratic left" -- we aren't apologists either! Like they care what we think. The public won't know and can't tell the the diff.  You know the old joke, the cop is beating on the scab's head at the picket line. "But I'm an anti-communist!" the scab says. The cop replies, "I don't care what kind of a commie you are. All them reds are the same to me!" (Whap!)  Btw, welcome back, Brad! jks

Seems pretty direct to me. And after some reflection, I signed it, along
