Finally the American Government has relaxed travel bans to the Island Republic of Cuba. It's taken more than 50 years to bring this exiled nation back into the mainstream of the Americas.
What took so long for the hypocritical politicians that have vacationed on the Cuban Island to allow the Cuban families the same travel opportunities they have enjoyed from the inception of the blockade and travel ban.
This is such an elitist country, that offers opportunity for the rich and well-connected. Yet denies the same benefits to the displaced and often time indigent cuban american community.
Well at the very least the time has come for cooler heads to prevail. My sincerest hope is that the Cuban Government will now take the ball and advance it even further down the field. There is no practical reasoning for having this country in our backyard and not engaging in full diplomatic communication.
For years we have missed out on the cuban socialized medical communities and the advancement of our own single payer medical programs. Learning from other governments is a positive and necessary step in the advancement of our democratic legislative process. We are not the only country on the planet with a formative policy on governance.
I salute President Obama and his cabinet on this historic day in the history of our great and growing nation. Someday we will all look back on this magnificent day with the pride of a new America filled with hope and new found prosperity.
