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

What's disgusting about it is the official connection, yes. That's different than the 'employment sector' of the participants. I can understand, as I say, if individuals (whether they're employed by the city or not) and their families or even their whole neighbourhoods party their hearts out. But for the city fathers to plan an official celebration (with commemorative t-shirts, yet) of someone's death is despicable, yes. If he has to party, the mayor should party unofficially.

I did read that, Ursula, but found it a distinction without a difference. The government is the people and given the circumstances of that community I fail to see your point. You called this despicable and depraved that the city would have anything to do with it but the grievance understandable. So, if I understand you right, the employment sector of the people concerned is what makes it despicable and depraved?
