Castro's Death Will Change Little In Cuba.

It is a well-known fact Fidel Castro, Marxist-communist leader of Cuba, is very ill and will likely die soon. Soon being a relative term for some time in the next year, after all predicting an exact date would be superfluous if I was wrong and creepy if I was right. (Although, I did make an entry in a celebrity death pool of April 20 of ‘07 because that is my anniversary.) Of course, I could die in the next year. But then again, it is the fact that we could die at any moment that makes life fun and interesting. The essence of randomness in the universe, the chaos of the cosmos--- but that is for another blog. This is a thread about the whimsical pseudo-science of fate prediction not a blog of my pompous personal musings on fractal math and cosmology.
Alright! I’ll quit pontificating and get to the point.
Many Cuban Americans have longed for the death of Castro seeing his death as some sort of relief to the impoverished nation of their birth. But, some wise person once said “be careful what you wish for.” I’m not Cuban so I have no personal reference or interest in his death. Other than seeing, an evil man get his just desserts and, yes, Castro, like that bastard Che Guevara, is an evil man. And while I am on the subject those Goddamned Che t-shirts irk the shit out of me, so to the parents who allow their little 15 year old pseudo revolutionaries to wear this symbol of a brutal leftist, you can kiss my big white ass. It is free country and you are entitled to your freedom of speech but I think most people just think the iron on of Che on their shirt is ‘cool’ and have no concept of what a bastard he really was.
Anyway, sorry, got on a rant there for a moment. The point to this is I predict a huge celebration in Miami when Castro bites the bullet however, this will be followed by a steep depression in Cuban-American community when they realize that it won’t mean a thing. The Cuban people, at least the folks in Cuba, will stay under the thumb of whatever puppet dictator that fills the void resulting from Castro’s death. For all the chants of ‘liberacion’ in the streets of Miami there will be equally raucous celebrations welcoming Cuba’s next dictator in the streets of Havana.
I know this is sad, especially for those Cuban Americans who are freedom-loving folk that have waited for decades to return democracy to their country. But, let’s face it, if the Cubans of Cuba wanted real democracy they would have fought back and ousted that cigar chomping hack of a baseball player in 1961.
In the final analysis, I welcome those Cubans who braved so much to come here and who have embraced the American way, building lives for their families, building business, and working hard for a country that has all too often marginalized them. However, I predict their hopes for their homeland will be dashed when they see their fellow compatriots roll over and take it in the ear when the next butthead comes to power.
