I can't help but feel this is kinda tasteless. I'm not a big fan of Castro by any means, but celebrating somebodies death seems just plain morbid to me. If the tables were turned and something happened to your president or our PM, I know I would personally be quite repulsed by any country celebrating the death. One would like to think we are more civilized than to stoop to these sort of levels.

I think it is important to stoup to such lowly levels so that we may understand them better. Anyway thats the excuse I came up with.

The City of Miami probably has two interests here:
1) $$$. This means revenue for the Orange Bowl complex. Parking fees, concession stands, etc.
2) Public Safety. Less chance of a free-for-all in the Orange Bowl than on the streets. Better to channel energy than sit back and hope nothing untoward develops.

Over tax them and bleed them dry of their resources of course!!! Then they would have reason to revolt. This causing a revolution and our economy would rise. Steel prices would surge and maybe even start a new manufacturing base here in the HOMELAND(almost typed fatherland heh heh).Mass democracy would spread through out the world creating a capitalist utopia unparalleled in history.
I figure you're either are on your way up or on your way down. If chaos leads us up I'm willing to let masses of less fortunate people pay for it with their lives. It is the way of things after all so why buck the system.
