Watertown, NY, USA . "Public Square" (vintage, date unknown) but the monument is honoring veterans of the American Civil War so the date of the image is late 1800s

this is not political, this is pure speculative hypothesis:
i have been thinking because of the passing of Fidel.........and his impact on the Americas.......and my conclusion was it was slight.........yes there was the missile crisis...........but that i believe was more by the will of the Soviet Onion (misprint deliberate) and not Fidel........yes there was the attempt to export the communist doctrine to Central and South America........but that was just an minor inconvenience........don't get me wrong......the treatment of his people was a major violation of human rights.........and i'm not discounting that fact..........however........
let's look at the alternative the rebellion had failed..........US mobsters had their hooks into the old regime....as bad as the regime of Fidel may have been........consider if the mob had become "power behind the throne" for the last 6 decades........which one would have been the worse situation.........
you may call this speculation, and hypothesis.........and i stand guilty as charged.........but just consider........i think we got the best of two evils...........

i think i've finally gone to the dark side........i had a friend when i said this is going to drive me crazy said 'there is no reason to drive you crazy, all i have to do is take your hand and walk you across the street' ...there is no way the congress will ever put in term limits.......but here is what we can do.......in 2 years find a candidate who agrees.........regardless of party and run him against the incumbent........and keep at it up until we reconstruct congress.......peeps that will truly represent us and not special interests.....possible maybe not.......but it's impossible if we don't try.......

i propose the following:
1]American congressmen can serve a maximum of 12 years, 2 terms in the senate and 6 terms in the house, or 3 in the house and 1 in the senate......
2] the retirement plans presently in  force are abolished......
3] they are payed 'per diem'
 a] they only are paid when congress is meeting
 b] and only if they answer a role call
