I'm not scared of communism like Americans are. I'm scared of organized crime, serial killers, homosexual getting their hands on kids... cultures that suppress women and children's rights. Government leaders with secret Swiss Bank accounts.
I'd go live in a place like Cuba and KNOW I'd be safer there than many parts of the USA...
Cuba might be a good place to retire to.
It's a lot better than many countries in Latin America where vacationers have been assaulted or murdered.
Many countries such as Mexico are not that safe.
One of my friend's son got his face carved up with a swtichblade in Argentina.
At least from tourists I've spoken with, Cuba is safe.
Perhaps one of the few truly safe countries to visit there.
At least I haven't heard about tourists getting robbed, raped, beaten up or killed there.
