No, not really, but that didn't stop you anyways...

I feel like someone, probably the son of a cubian refugee, has a lot
of hot air to blow, and posting it here doesn't really help.

Maybe, but still he raised some important points. As far as I can
remeber, Zurich orbital is supposed to be a space station that serve
as residence to some of the wealthiest people of the world. Well,
except for the micro-gravity, there is trully no advantage in living
on a small and crumped space can. Many sci-fi writters have imagined
that orbital homes would turn out to be the place to be on the 21st
century, so I guess our cuban refugee rose some interesting
questions. Also, maybe it would be interesting to put something like
poor refugees for third world nations being send to live in space
colonies into the ShadowRun wolrd. Who knows, some good adventures
might come out of it.
