Page 6 December 25, 2014 One Man’s Opinion Another Man’s Opinion Ho, Ho, Ho Opening Up Dialogue, Relations with Cuba is Long Overdue By Cristian Vasquez President Obama’s decision to normalize relations with the island of Cuba is a move that is long overdue. Anyone on Capitol Hill criticizing the president and indicating that this is a bad idea is convincing me that they are attempting to earn political points for an election in the near future. There is really no reason now, nor has there been since the fall of the Berlin Wall, to remain distant from the Communist-ruled island. There is no financial benefit to continue to marginalize Cuba; there is no humanitarian reason to continue the embargo mentality. Cuba isn’t a national threat to the United States and if the criticism stems from the fact that the island is under a communist regime, that hasn’t stopped us from becoming the best of friends with China. I am aware that the President’s steps to “normalize” relations with the island can mean a lot, or they can signify nothing in the political world. However, I am honestly excited, happy and hopeful that this normalization process can bring together two countries that have been foes for far too long. From the Cuban Revolution, to the Cuban Missile Crisis and for many years that followed, there were more than enough of reasons to remain vigilant, distant and ready to react to any sort of hostility. But today, what is our excuse to not be friendly with Cuba and rebuild a political, economic and social relationship? When was the last time that Cuba was a threat to us? There is no reason not to applaud this decision by President Obama. There is much uncertainty with regards to how this new foreign policy approach with Cuba will work out. Putting aside the financial benefits that this new era in American-Cuban relations should generate, I am more thrilled for the millions of Cuban families that will be able to reunite with their loved ones still on the island. The Cuban Revolution and everything that has followed has made life for people in Cuba bad enough that many prefer to risk dying on a raft to escape the regime or the living conditions in their homeland. I am fortunate enough to not know first-hand what that experience is like, but I have been blessed with Cuban friends who have shared family stories and some have confided in personal anecdotes. To hear some of those stories is heartbreaking, sometimes inspiring and at many times frustrating that not far from the Florida coast exist a nation with people yearning for the old regime to end. I don’t ever want to know what it is like to live abroad and not have the ability to come back to my beloved Los Angeles. So knowing that political steps will be taken that will allow for Cuban families to reunite, and that would give older individuals who fled Cuba a chance to revisit their land of birth is remarkable. It saddens me to know that there are Cubans in Miami, just 90 miles away from their birth land, that can’t go visit loved ones. This move in diplomatic relations between the nations is long overdue. • PUBLISH YOUR PUBLIC NOTICES HERE ABANDONMENTS: By Gerry Chong Merry Christmas, everyone! In a time of good cheer and joy we wish everyone the Season’s best. Despite the President’s naming the D.C. tree a “holiday tree” rather than a “Christmas tree,” this is still an unquestioned Christian celebration, in which people of other faiths are encouraged to participate. But joining does not make it an inter-faith celebration, nor does it make it secular (Godless), as Obama may imply. So with that irritant out of the way, let’s all be kids again and write an irreverent Christmas wish letter to the Old Fat Guy: Dear Chubs, We’ve been tempted to ask for a year now, as to whether or not you’ve been on Michelle O’s lunch menu. Have you thrown it in the trash like the kids or are you going “svelte” this year? You’re our role model, so shoot straight with us. As to the Christmas season, you’ve already given Jeb Bush his present. On the day he nearly declared his presidential candidacy you got Obama to announce an agreement to renew relations with Cuba. Since Florida is filled with anti-Castro Cubans, Florida will go to Bush. I’m sure he will send you a thank you note after the holidays. What’s it gonna take, Santa-baby, for you to tell the Liberal press to put a sock in it and just report the facts without the spin. This economy is not recovering! As the Pew Center and Associated Press reported last week, the net worth of all American households in 2007 was $135,700, but by 2013 had fallen to $81,400. Some recovery, huh? Concurrently, annual family incomes fell from $56,000 to $51,000. So, Santa, in this season of giving, we hope you will give Congress the backbone to make the policy changes to restore financial optimism to a discouraged people. With a snide grin, we hope you will make Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts the Democratic presidential nominee. You see, like Barack Obama, she had never before run anything, but had been a law school professor who specialized in bankruptcies. That’s the perfect background for another Democratic administration! How’s the mileage on your sleigh, Big Guy? Every state in the union is benefitting from lower gas prices due to the benefits of fracking. But New York would like to receive the benefits of lower gas prices while banning fracking in its state. We wish you, Santa, could find a way to make the point that, if one wants benefits, one must contribute to the productive process. But the break in the rational chain of causation between productivity and benefits is pandemic in this country, isn’t it? Well, Old Pal, I’ve given you quite a list, but since it is a season for optimism and joy, I hope it isn’t more than you can handle. God willing, next year’s list will be shorter. I look forward to hearing the little hooves on my roof and the merry HO, HO, HO resounding through the heavens. Saddle up, Jolly Man. • dba@heraldpublications.com public notices legalnotices@heraldpublications.com PUBLISH YOUR PUBLIC NOTICES HERE ABANDONMENTS: $125.00 ABC NOTICES: $125.00 DBA (Fictitious Business Name): $75.00 NAME CHANGE: $125.00 Other type of notice?
