Fidel


Fidel Castro is celebrating a birthday today - he is 82. Perhaps, if he wanted to, he could help re-establish relations with the U.S., BUT - he won't. We wish him well nonetheless. Maybe he was well-meaning in his establishing Communism in Cuba in the fifties, not knowing that the system does not encourage productivity. People won't work hard if they know they must share everything they work for with the neighbor who chooses not to. On the other hand, capitalism encourages greed - you can never tell a rich person when he's had enough. He always wants more. Happy birthday Mr. Castro.
