I learned a great deal from watching this. I had no real idea of what Cuba went through in the nineties. I just remember David Brinkley, on his Sunday morning talk show, gloating about what terrible shape Cuba must be in -- something about a downward spiral -- given that they were importing bicycles.

From this video it looks like Cuba has taken on the challenges that will soon be with all of us, and after some suffering they have thrived.

Thank you for posting.
