Lasting love

For unlike romance, which the stories tells us happens by chance, lasting love is something we can practice. It is an art that can be learnt. That does not leave us as victims of Cupid’s bow. If falling in love is found, the love that makes up most of your life is made.

Great interview. Note, for those for whom it’s important, the article is illustrated with a bunch of naked people.

Moore’s rebuttal: ¡Viva WikiLeaks! SiCKO Was Not Banned in Cuba

Sounds convincing, eh?! There’s only one problem — ‘Sicko’ had just been playing in Cuban theaters. Then the entire nation of Cuba was shown the film on national television on April 25, 2008! The Cubans embraced the film so much so it became one of those rare American movies that received a theatrical distribution in Cuba. I personally ensured that a 35mm print got to the Film Institute in Havana. Screenings of ‘Sicko’ were set up in towns all across the country.

The 18-foot long prototype trailer for small cars was on display for the first time at the Midwest Open Trails Camping Show at the Arena in St. Louis. The trailer attached to the roof of the car, like a luggage rack. The car could pull and push the trailer for easy parking and turn around under the trailer 360 degrees without unhooking or striking the trailer.”

WikiLeaks: Cuba banned Sicko for depicting ‘mythical’ healthcare system

via guardian.co.uk

“Cuba banned Michael Moore’s 2007 documentary, Sicko, because it painted such a “mythically” favourable picture of Cuba’s healthcare system that the authorities feared it could lead to a “popular backlash”, according to US diplomats in Havana.

1. Sicko
2. Production year: 2007
3. Country: USA
4. Cert (UK): 12A
5. Runtime: 113 mins
6. Directors: Michael Moore
7. More on this film

The revelation, contained in a confidential US embassy cable released by WikiLeaks , is surprising, given that the film attempted to discredit the US healthcare system by highlighting what it claimed was the excellence of the Cuban system.

But the memo reveals that when the film was shown to a group of Cuban doctors, some became so “disturbed at the blatant misrepresentation of healthcare in Cuba that they left the room”.

Castro’s government apparently went on to ban the film because, the leaked cable claims, it “knows the film is a myth and does not want to risk a popular backlash by showing to Cubans facilities that are clearly not available to the vast majority of them.”
