[lit-ideas] Re: Orange Bowl party planned for whenever Castro dies

You accuse other people of not reading carefully, but you are guilty yourself. I was dismayed at the 'official planning' of such a celebration. I wrote quite clearly : "Private people with a fifty-year grievance celebrating, I could understand, but the city fathers? "

Fidel Castro has stayed in power by his ruthless suppression of dissent and many of those people in Miami have memories of that (and still have family in Cuba) so they will celebrate at the demise of the wicked.

Official city planning? This would be laughable if it weren't so despicable. Can you imagine the fuss on right-wing talk radio if Bush were at death's door and Cuba (or Iran) officially planned a big public festival complete with t-shirts and banners and .... for the moment of his death. It's the officialness of it that's depraved. Private people with a fifty-year grievance celebrating, I could understand, but the city fathers?
