I just have to respond to this. The Cuban government does NOT execute people that ask questions and execution is rare. The one that comes to mind was a high level government official that took bribes and used his position to enrich himself. I also once believed that Fidel was a dictator. But I also once believed the US is a democracy, until I began to explore a different version of events and reality than the one I had been programmed to believe.
