You really must be in some kind of daze.

I was trying to engage with Charles's assertion that the Democrats had a 
progressive domestic policy. Let me try to define the word domestic to 
you since you may have forgotten somewhere along the line.

Domestic means within this country, like Kansas or Idaho. Cuba is not 
within this country even though it was once run as a colony.

In other words, you came stumbling into a discussion about the Democrats 
and domestic policy with Cuba on your mind as always. I don't mind if 
you can't get Cuba off your mind. Life in American society is very tough 
and we all need security blankets to get us through the day.

I only wish that you would at least find some slightly more plausible 
context for holding forth on Cuba. You don't want to come off more 
monomaniacal than usual, right?
