Your experiences in Cuba, and opinions on same, immediately disqualify you as any arbiter of 'freedom of speech'.  

 

 

I'm sitting across from a famous poster by a Cuban artist (Ares):  s-l1600.jpgWe met him in his studio and I quizzed him on censorship. He had plenty of art critical of the Cuban government. We also met some dissidents.  I asked if they might be imprisoned for their work and they said it was unlikely but possible.  I guess kinda like here, see Bolton, John and Comey, James.

Trump, Donald.
 

As for Ares, I suppose it’s possible that happened.   I see he’s got some significant accolades but geesh, from a creative perspective, looks like he sorta mailed this one in.  Was there only one format Obama approved of?  Looks like Ares took the HOPE poster, changed the solemn look and gave him a smile and a Cuban general’s tunic.
