Epilogue

Yeah, I know what you’re thinking—you already have bikes capable of hauling a bunch of stuff, why do you need Xtracycles? Well, first of all, one of the things that we still regularly use a car for in our normal lives is going to the grocery store. Personally, I find hauling panniers into the store [...]

More on Cuban health care

An Alternet article with more details about the Cuban medical schools we mentioned earlier. There are no sources to back up the alleged high quality of Cuban health care, but the part about them training doctors from all parts of the world is certainly true.

Who is an American?

Following the example of other countries and continents, an American should be a person from the American continents. Peruvians, Canadians, Mexicans and Argentinians should all be considered Americans as well those from the US. (Just as Spaniards, Germans and Italians are considered European.) It’s not something people from the US think about too much, since [...]
