Wow! we lost the opportunity to investigate Obama (specially in his last
days), or Clinton, or whoever in the Presidency; why not
investigatingPower.com, or PresidencyFiles.com or something like that?
It seems that these kind of nowadays fever has more to do with this
current Presidente than with a real interest for truth or decency or
solidarity or even the infosec... (I mean, it looks as a partisan or
ideological matter).

Some people think that hiring 1 refugees is above all (and without
other consideration) an act of compassion; some others think that to do
it per se (without meditate the pros and cons) is an act of
irresponsibility. As remarked by Yosem Companys, the reality and our
thinkings (and feelings) are not (usually) black or white. We should
avoid to make a war in the name (or with the guns) of our absolute point
of view.

Re: [liberationtech] Cuba, Technology & US-Cuba Relations - Ths, 12/15 @ 4:00 (EST)

2016-12-08 Thread ernesto ortiz
I thought this was something about internet rights and technology for
Cubans but what I see is the typical apology to the Cuban government
(and to Fidel Castro) disguised with the discourse of "the friendship
and the solidarity", and that considers the American embargo as the only
and exclusive responsible of all the troubles in Cuba.
