In my opinion I believe Castro to be alive, for several reasons. First, he's wilyer that a coyote with a subscription to Acme; he knows how to stay alive. Second, he sends out for his doctors, so why should he risk the Cuban health care system when there's a better way to do it just a phone call away to an overseas location?

Third, and most important, they didn't parade his corpse about the country yet. Liberal, leftist commie societies, having lost any respect for God and the Ten Commandments, have a habit of fawning over their dear leaders so much that it breaks the first two commandments on the list. Think of how they reacted to Che's burial; lot's of tears (or was it drool?) involved. Think of Lenin (mummified and displayed); Stalin (ditto); Ho Chi whatever, Chairman Mao, the pair of Kim's (served under glass); and any one of the post-Stalin Russian pinkos who just had to be reported dead before the stench of decomposition informed the public before Pravda could.

Yes, His Fidelness is very much alive, because if he were dead every liberal in LaLa Land and beyond would weep and wail before that cigar-chomping commie would be reduced to room temperature. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 11:32, 30 March 2012 (EDT)
