On a somewhat related note, I read in today’s paper that Fidel Castro gave a speech criticizing capitalism and calling the current corporate problems the system’s natural comeuppance. He also stressed how it was hurting old widows, the working man, and cute brown-eyed puppies. I found this absurd and amusing. Better a couple of bad year’s under capitalism than 50 bad years under communism. And even then, the former’s worse years are far, far better than the latter’s best years. Castro forgot to point that out.
