"Cuban dissidents ramp up protest with fast"
http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/americas/11/13/cuba.dissidents.protest/index.html
Another heavy topic in a day of world news, this time, dealing with hunger strikes in Cuba as a protest against the government and the tight restrictions on citizens' rights over the 50 year course of Castro reign. However, not all is going as planned, with certain dissidents facing health problems and protesting against the rebellious strike mount in number and aggression. In addition, some say the hunger strikes are not reaching the right demographic of people to enact change; they are too much on the outskirts of those who need to be riled up most to implement any sort of revolution. Personally, I see those naysayers' point. I think a hunger strike is not the type of action needed to strike change at this point, though I nod my head to the stir, chaos and awareness they are causing as a result.
