In case you have ever wondered why Fidel Castro has remained in power for over forty years, you need only watch this documentary. The ninety minute film glazes over most of the story, but it's a good peek into the revolution. According to this documentary, history will judge him as one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century. From what I gather, I agree but will have to read a few books on this matter. The international community hails this man as a friend. The united states government should consider doing the same before Castro passes away. Towards the end of the film, there's a scene where he hands little Elian Gonzalez a book and a box of chocolates and advises him not to read the chocolates and eat the book. I recommend this documentary if you're curious.
Now, allow me to take some pre-emtive action to getting a CIA file started: America good. America good. America good. America good. America good. America good. America. Good.
In other news, I made the suggestion that we watch BET during lunch today. That response was as if I made a joke. I wasn't kidding. "Hits from the Street" (cancelled) and Rap City re-runs made for many an entertaining lunch hour back in college. A few hours later, I entered the same cafeteria to see that somebody was watching BET. I'm glad I'm not the only one. America. Still good.
