Teenager 2: 'Where did you go?'

Free Rebublic is a particularly disgusting web site which is anything but "Free". The excuse made for the rampant censorship which takes place there regularly is most often that it is a privately owned site and thus not obligated to refrain from erasing any trace of thought that goes against it's own grain. OK. Fine. But don't claim that posts aren't erased and ideas aren't censored, because they are. Try a google search for "Free Republic Censorship", or even just "Free Republic". There are plenty of victims of this Orwellian memory hole out there. I know. I'm one of them.

Dominican Republic is a half-island country located in the Caribbean.
We have one of the worst education systems in Latin America; the government refuses to invest the (by-law) minimum of 4% of the budget in education.
We have a large illegal immigrant population of Haitians who cross the border seeking to re-establish themselves on this side of the island.
Underage drinking is a custom here; allowing minors to go into clubs is an everyday sighting.
Culturally rich, the Dominican Republic was the first colony in America to have a university (Universidad Autonoma de Santo Domingo, founded 1538 if I'm not mistaken), the first cathedral, and being the birth place to the music genres of Merengue and Bachata. Other musical styles that have great popularity here are Rap and "Dembow".
Unfortunately, this country is controlled by the 5-10% of the population that in election time "buys" votes of the uneducated and gullible by bribing them with food and false promises. This keeps the country chained to a vicious circle from which it seems it cannot unbind itself.
The Dominican Republic is a poor country, ravaged by drugs and corruption, and from the looks of it, this might be the case for a while.
We got nice beaches, plantain, mangu, sancocho, red soda, a very colourful vocabulary, (mostly) kind and helpful, but retarded people, and one of the most beautiful national anthems.
Corruption, drugs, and plantain are Dominican Republic's main exports.

To clear a couple of things off (& I quote)): "The first Caribbean country to gain its independence was Haiti in 1804, and it was followed by the Dominican Republic in 1844 and Cuba in 1902."

Term used by generally conservative critics to describe an area with a majority of leftist politics.
Tom, a stanch conservative, hated California, which he referred to as the People's Republic of California.
