00:00
Prime Minister, would you tell me your thoughts on a thing that in Canada we prize highly?
00:11
Your thoughts on the matter of parliamentary democracy.
00:15
What about having a system of government that is answerable to that elected body?
00:22
And you had a revolution, and this wasn't done with pop guns or bows and arrows.
00:30
It was a pretty serious business.
00:36
Suppose we were to ask him, look, Prime Minister, look, Dr. Castro, did the United States make you a communist?
00:44
First, cut you off, and they cut off supplies, and they wouldn't allow anything to be shipped into Cuba,
00:56
and they wouldn't allow anything to be shipped from Cuba into the US, and they cut you off.
01:02
It was a natural development for me to become a communist.
01:05
Would he say that? What would he say?
01:06
I think that maybe it works in two ways.
01:09
I think, in a sense, the antagonism of the United States has served Cuba very well,
01:13
because what it's done has been a terrific emotional unifier.
01:17
They've used this antagonism, enabled to keep a sense of solidarity.
01:22
There's no real fulfillment in life if your life is based only on the accumulation of materialism and selfish...
01:30
Let's face it, any mature man accepts that.
01:32
Any really intellectually...
01:34
In that case, there are quite a few people who are not mature.
01:37
Well, of course, that's the problem.
01:38
Because they don't accept it.
01:39
But their sons might, and their sons' sons might.
01:41
That's what the hippie movement was all about,
01:43
was the realization that the upper middle class and affluence that these men were enjoying,
01:48
that wasn't enough, and that's what developed the hippie movement.
01:51
There are so many things we have to see.
02:11
Alamar, for instance.
02:13
A whole new city being constructed by amateur builders
02:17
in an attempt to meet the incredible housing shortages.
02:27
AnAMArieben canсти Miami.
02:36
I mean, it's not Brazil but Israel.
02:37
I mean, I guess I guess they were very wrong,
02:38
but now, it doesn't have to be fair.
02:40
Well, I mean, I guess...
