Prophet - it is someone who can predict the future.
My question - try to guess what will be the future of Cuba after death of Fidel Castro.
The one who wins gets the prize - free on-line on-line video documentary about Cuba.
Nice day to everyone:)

Dear Lady,

Interesting game. I visited Cuba at 1994, in the crisis of "Balseros". I talked with some of them, I visited the houses of poor people, talk with them, eat with them. Hear them. And Belive me, some mass media make the problem much more giant that the reality.
Well I don´t want to argue about that. Your question is interestin.
When Castro -Capush- maybe in few years Cuba will live a political crisis like countries of East of Europe, and when finally Cuba get stability, at least in appereance, the only loosers will be the cubans citizens, the poor people that every day is even more poor, it doesn´t matter if the country continuo with a socialist government, or capitalist government or "democratic" government, the only loosers of all the changes arrount the world are the poor people.

Lady Macbeth,
Castro could be died, nobody knows about him. All the world knows that he delegate the power in his brother, but his brother haven´t appear. maybe he is in the hospital with his brother.
If Castro has died, maybe his brother and all the peopleof the power at Cuba is planning something in order to protect the nation froman invasion of USA.
All what I can say is speculation.
What do you think about that, you that are a woman who likes predictions?
Interesting I thought that Castro has more than two years of line, maybe 5 or 10, suddenly nobody know what will happen with Cuba if Castro has died.

It could be Dixie. Before my trip to Cuba I thought that Cuba has a perfect society, but when I visited the island I change my mind. I see that all people go to school or work every morning and take the breakfast there, but at home they are poor.
All the economy is concentrated in the Estate´s hands, noody could work by himself and get money from a free way.
One day in a beach a man try to sell me some clips for my hair, they was made by Carey. When I try to see the clips, the man act as if we were seen by the police, he explain me that it was prohibited to seel the productos to tourist, he could be punished. I understan and bought the things.
In the same way I bought some other productos.
People at Cuba use to change the productos that the Estate give them to survive: coffe, etc by things the tourist use to use, like soap, shampoo, etc.
I don´tknow what will be better to cubans, live in a free country, I mean without any dictator, or return to a politic model like the model they have with the last president Batista, where Cuba was a paradise to gansgters and people suffer the same poorness.
Democracy, like in all latinamerican countries is a dream any country have got.
