After leading hundreds of thousands of no doubt enraged Cuban citizens to protest the U.S. Mission’s electronic sign in Havana (as referred to in a previous post), Castro has come up with a suitably blunt solution: build a wall.

Cuban workers wielding jackhammers and other equipment have begun erecting a structure that observers believe is likely to block the view of the sign, which transmits messages from people including the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Lincoln and President Bush.

“No man is good enough to govern another man without that other’s consent,” Lincoln’s quote reads.

Also passing slowly on the 5-foot-high ticker, which is on the building’s fifth floor and is illuminated only at night, is a quote by Voltaire that reads, “Man is free in the moment he wishes to be free.”

Harry Belafonte couldn’t be reached for comment.
