It happens to people of that age. They're walking off of a dais and don't notice the step down. Whoops, broke a leg.

[Drunken rant]
Sorry to say this, but Mr. Wong is right. Why the fuck should America care about Castro and Cuba. Its only because we love holding grudges. Castro is no worse than any of the multiple African governments that like their little ethnic cleansings, or China, or Indonesia, or a shitload of other countries, and like all these podunk countries, we should simply ignore him (ok, china ain't podunk.) But no, back in the day he hurt someones fathers feelings by stealing his cheap labour, and setting up his dirty commie regime under our noses. So we have to go about being all hard ass when we could just fucking ignore him. He's an old man in a Latin American (read good only for cheap labour) country that can't do shit to anyone anymore.
So boo-fucking-hoo for us. Now why does this get more of a fucking debate than important things, like the Sudanese commiting fucking GENOCIDE!

On the other hand, he is indirectly responsible for the refugee problems in Florida and for America being swamped with the kind of people who can proclaim Elian Gonzalez as Jesus reborn because he didn't drown. Maybe that's a good reason to hold a grudge?
