Heh... he was one of the many doctors in Cuba and had been fortunate enough to travel to a couple of countries to work, so he'd had a bit of a taste of the outside world. As far as I could tell he mostly used the Internet to keep informed on what was really going on in the world, without the censorship or propaganda that affected the local news sources. Based on some of the things he said I suspected he was very active politically though I didn't feel it was wise or fair to question him about that, as much as I wanted to.
