...want to discuss the U.S.'s new, restrictive migration policies and high corn subsidies for U.S. farmers, which hurt Mexican farmers. Canada may want to pursue new energy trade policies. Mexico's current conservative government has opposed reopening the terms of NAFTA, but recent political fractures in Canadanot to mention an increasingly complex global economic situation will likely keep the debate lively well past NAFTA's next anniversary...
Which isn't to say that the Cuban revolution doesn't deserve its due. It overthrew one of Latin America's most putrid dictators, championed the poor (still a rare thing to do in Latin America) and showed the U.S. that its worst Monroe Doctrine impulses (not to mention the Mafia that was overrunning Cuba then) could be thwarted. People buy Che Guevara T shirts for more than just the lefty chic. The Miami exiles (many of whom backed Fidel Castro before he went communist) deserve their props too, despite the Elian Gonzalez mess. Most were not corrupt oligarchs...

No members of government will have to worry about their pension or medical care. The market works...

With increased airline security and regulations, fee hikes, crowded planes, not to mention less expendable cash all around, traveling can be stressful for people, especially around the holidays. You can prevent unnecessary anxiety by preparing for every contingency. The couples I spoke with all said they were at least as grateful - if not more - for their partners' planning as for their paying. It seems that sometimes it's still...
