Einsteinz called it "spooky action at a distance"
Trying get my head around Russell's take around the new physics after Newton's
You want me to google it for you?
I am listening to Nietzsche's clock strike 13, I hardly have time for experience. I don't know where the TV and Movies leave off and what I have actually experienced.
I was old enough to get drafted in 1959, it was about then I started paying more attention to the evening news shows. Dear old Brinkley and Huntley

Obama on Cuban policy
Cuba CompanioniThe primary means we have of encouraging positive change in Cuba today is to help the Cuban people become less dependent on the Castro regime in fundamental ways. U.S. policy must be built around empowering the Cuban people, who ultimately hold the destiny of Cuba in their hands. The United States has a critical interest in seeing Cuba join the roster of stable and economically vibrant democracies in the Western Hemisphere. Such a development would bring us important security and economic benefits, and it would allow for new cooperation on migration, counter-narcotics and other issues...
These interests, and our support for the aspirations of the Cuban people, are ill served by the further entrenchment of the Castro regime, which is why we need to advance peaceful political and economic reform on the island. http://my.barackobama.com/page/communit ... amaHQ/CJ8m

gracias jimbo!, I only know Cabrera Infante!!!!!! It´s the year of Che´s 80th birthday, good to make some kind or revisionism or whatever from here too
and it seems Fidel keep talking!!!!!!!!!
See:
Fidel contra las modificaciones: "Estoy de acuerdo, ¡cambio!, pero en Estados Unidos"
La Habana.- En su primer mensaje escrito tras renunciar a la presidencia de Cuba, Fidel Castro rechazó hoy los llamados al cambio en la isla hechos por varios países, y en cambio reclamó modificaciones para Estados Unidos.
El veterano lider revolucionario publicó hoy en la prensa oficial su primera columna bajo el nuevo titulo “Reflexiones del compañero Fidel”, tal como lo anunció el martes último cuando comunicó al mundo su decisión de no reasumir el mando formal del gobierno.
El texto se conoció a dos días de la sesión del nuevo Parlamento cubano, que debe nominar de entre sus 615 integrantes al próximo presidente del país.
Ante la renuncia de Fidel, la designación podría recaer en su hermano y actual presidente interino, Raúl Castro, aunque también se le asginan algunas posibilidades al vicepresidente Carlos Lage o al canciller Felipe Pérez Roque, entre otros.
El comandante prefirió en esta oportunidad no involucrarse en la sucesión del mando haciendo mención a candidato alguno, y se limitó a decir que por ahora está “enfrascado” en “hacer notar” su voto en las deliberaciones del domingo próximo.
“Medio siglo de bloqueo les parecía poco a los predilectos. ¡Cambio, cambio, cambio!, gritaban al unísono. Estoy de acuerdo, ¡cambio!, pero en Estados Unidos. Cuba cambió hace rato y seguirá su rumbo dialéctico. ¡No regresar jamás al pasado!, exclama nuestro pueblo”, enfatizó.
Contó que la noche anterior a la salida del diario Granma que contenía su renuncia pública “había dormido como nunca” porque “tenía la conciencia tranquila”, y se refirió a las declaraciones de los candidatos presidencias de EEUU respecto de su decisión.
“Disfruté observando la posición embarazosa de todos los candidatos a Presidente de Estados Unidos. Se vieron obligados uno por uno a proclamar sus inmediatas exigencias a Cuba para no arriesgar un solo elector”, deslizó.
“Ni que yo fuera Premio Pulitzer interrogándolos en la CNN sobre los más delicados asuntos políticos e incluso personales, desde Las Vegas, donde reina la lógica del azar de las ruletas de juego y adonde hay que asistir humildemente si alguien aspira a Presidente”, completó con ironía.
Acerca de la sesión del parlamento que elegirá el Consejo de Estado y los cargos de la Asamblea Nacional del Poder Popular (parlamento), reveló: “estoy enfrascado ahora en el esfuerzo por hacer constar mi voto unido en favor de la Presidencia de la Asamblea Nacional y del nuevo Consejo de Estado, y cómo hacerlo”.

YES WE CAN!
Geez maybe we can invite Fidel into Studioeight, he seems to like the streamofconsciousness sort of thing!
Obama wants to talk with Raul Castro directly. That is the kind of breaking out of this stalemate that we need.
Glad to see youall this morning. Heading up a long and tedious work schedule starting tomorrow Sabado, then a 36 hour stretch Lunes a Miercoles, caramba.
tempura and rice with matte tea!
Fidel obviously enjoying his new role as writer, he says we are for change, but inside the united states!
jaja!
wonder if fidel will get jailed someday if he says the wrong things.
meanwhile, nobody raised a flap about my letters to the congress and senate acusing dick cheney of high treason. we always had freedom of speech, but now we may begin to see some power shifting. OJALA!!!!!
"Neither that I was a Pulitzer Prize winner interrogating them on CNN on the most delicate political and even personal matters, since Las Vegas, where reigns the logic of the chance of the roulettes of play and where one must attend humbly if someone aspires to be President", he completed with irony.

from jiimbo´s link:
Bio: Ramon Humberto Colas worked as a child psychologist in Cuba until he was accused of rebellion and fired because of his political beliefs in 1994. In 1998, after hearing Fidel Castro declare at the International Book Fair in Havana that, "In Cuba there are no banned books, only lack of funds to purchase them," Ramon and his wife Berta Mexidor created an independent library in their house in Las Tunas, Cuba. They opened up their home and personal book collection, including books and magazines that the Cuban government considered enemy propaganda and had banned, to their neighbors and the local community. This first library was named in honor of the historic Cuban independence activist Felix Varela. Ramon and Berta encouraged others to join the effort to provide the Cuban people uncensored access to literature and information, and within nine months of the inception of the project there were 13 Independent Libraries in Cuba.
Today, 135 libraries across Cuba meet the basic requirements of the Independent Libraries Movement, and others continue to work to accumulate the minimum number of 300 books that is required to officially join the network. Among the most popular books in the libraries' collections are books on democracy, politics, human rights, history, books by exiled Cuban authors, and children's books. In addition to providing their community with access to banned books, the libraries have become community centers- places where young and old can come together to discuss anything from politics to art to music to daily life.
The growth and success of the project is a testament to the bravery and dedication of Ramon and Berta, the executive director in Cuba Gisela Delgado, hundreds of other librarians, and over 240,600 regular patrons. However, the participants and the project continue to be harshly persecuted by the Cuban government. Ramon, Berta, and their young children were forced into exile in 2002 after a series of arrests and repeated harassment. In the March 2003 crackdown by the Castro government, 20 librarians were arrested and 17 remain in jail. Many librarians who remained free have lost their jobs and/or been harassed by government sponsored mobs because of their participation in the project.
sad... that someone wanted to regulate what I read or not (among other things but mostly because of that) was the cause for me to formally say bye-bye to my catholic church group when I was more or less fifteen in the eighties. I can understand him!!
