I think the point is not that Castro is cool, it’s that if you go to Cuba - a place that celebrates Fidel Castro - Castro monuments like the one in the photo are commonplace. It’s like, maybe you can experience a culture without judging it? And other opinions besides the American one are relevant? Maybe not...

Fidel Castro is generally still well regarded in Cuba by average Cubans... I was there when Obama announced the lifting of the embargo and while most of them were excited and expressed dissatisfaction with the living conditions, I didn’t encounter anyone who had anything bad to say about him

Listen, the whole breast cancer pink ribbon campaign is a scam. You know how you see pink ribbons on cereal boxes, billboards, etc? See how much of that goes to raise money for breast cancer research: http://thinkbeforeyoupink.org/
