Cuba Offers Florida Help

Of course, It's Refused!!
        Cuba has received regional and international plaudits for its tireless efforts to keep its coastal waters as pristine as possible. Now it has drastically reformed fishing laws to further protect coral reef, sharks and rays. Cuba wants to help Florida do the same.
      For bathers, swimmers, snorkelers, natives, and tourists, Cuban waters such as the Garden of the Queens, as shown above, are considered among the world's clearest, cleanest, and safest.
      In sharp contrast, the coastal waters of nearby Florida have been plagued with with the Red Tide -- a smelly, dangerous, and untidy toxic algae.
     Microbiologist in Florida would love to accept Cuba's offer to help keep Florida's coastal waters as clean and as safe as Cuba's, but Florida's Counter Revolutionary zealots, of course, won't allow anything that might shine a positive light on Cuba.
     While the mainstream media in the United States is also, generally speaking, not allowed to say anything nice about Cuba, the London-based The Guardian today {August 26th} did sharply contrast Cuba's pristine waters with Florida's nasty waters. That powerful British newspaper said Cuba was anxious for "collaboration with the United States on protecting their shared ocean, despite President Donald Trump's policy of reversing a thaw in relations." Among those dismayed with not accepting Cuba's help is Jorge Angulo Valdes, A Cuban marine biologist, shown above in the upper-right, at the University of Florida. The Guardian quoted Jorge as saying: "If we don't look for collaboration with Cuba we can't have the full picture. Trump is doing everything he can to close the doors on collaboration. Cuba is doing everything to make it easier for us to keep those doors open." In case you want to read that entire August 26-2019 article in The Guardian, it is entitled: "Cuba Drastically Reforms Fishing Laws To Protect Coral Reefs, Sharks and Rays."
     As The Guardian article this week pointed out, U. S. President Donald Trump -- who has turned the destruction of Cuba over to Miami's most ferocious Counter Revolutionaries and extreme anti-Cuban war-mongers like John Bolton -- could care less about what's best for most Floridians and Cuban-Americans. Trump is only concerned with Counter Revolutionary Cubans in Miami's Little Havana section delivering unto him Florida's 29 electoral votes to enhance his 2020 re-election. And in America's two-party political system, Little Havana's iron grip around the neck of every Republican president remains a cancer that the American democracy is unable to heal. Into a 7th decade now, 325 million Americans lose out to a few anti-Cuban zealots.
