Conversations with Jacque & Roxanne April 2010  Bogota Colombia

To-infinitive

Actually, I think too, one of the greatest possibilities we have

with Ecuador, Chavez, you know, in Bolivia

and Cuba, all those progressive countries.

We would love to make a presentation to the presidents

of all those countries because they're kind of grappling with

what to do next, where to go. They're thinking in terms of socialism

but they're beginning to share resources and things together.

And maybe if we could have some kind of contact with them

and propose a first city where we do research

and the benefits go to all those countries who participated.

There might be more chance with those countries than in the others.

We were friends with Cuba in America. Castro came here.

He asked for money to help change things. The US turned him down.

When I got to Cuba I said I would like to see Fidel.

So the police arrested me right away. They looked through my suitcases

and there were nothing but drawings for Fidel, so they let me go.

"He's a couple of hundred miles, cutting sugar cane

with the workers." So he was trying to be 'one of the boys'.

So I figured: Gee, I only had 600 bucks when I got to Cuba.

That was all I had to spend so I went to the University of Havana

and I said I'd like to talk to the technicians there.

They said "Okay". So they set up a meeting with technicians

and they said to me first in their Spanish-American accent:

The US has to do all these wonderful things that you have in mind."

So I said "You don't need money. You jack up a car

and put a belt on the rear wheel. That'll process your sugar cane

and you could do that with 50 cars and process machinery."

I said "Look, I have no power. I'd like to see Fidel."

So they said "I want to show you what we do."

So they had a bunch of guys carrying bananas down the hill.

So I said: "If you build a clothes line and hang the bananas up

they'll come down automatically while the boxes go up."

What can I do with that? I stayed there until my money ran out.

Castro was a revolutionary, like Che Guevara was a doctor.

He tried to help people to the best of his ability.

isn't radical enough for the world today.
