Default Castro Dying?

All these years they've been moaning about
returning to Cuba.

Now, they might actually have to "put up or shut up"

I doubt very seriously that cubans now residing in this country really
want to return to a third world country where much the population lives
hand-to-mouth in poor conditions. I believe much of the anti-Castro
rhetoric we hear now originated from the many non-resident people and
corporations (United Fruit) that owned property there as well as those
local property owners who fled the island when Castro took over. One
of his first acts was to nationalize property. So they more than any
other group have orchestrated this ongoing chorus of anti-Castro
rhetoric and the subsequent generations have continued the song. I
think that the chances of getting reparations or return of property
confiscated 1/2 century ago are nil.
