No Dancing Upon Discount Rugs Following Castro’s Resignation
Few people could be found dancing upon their discount rugs following Fidel Castro’s resignation of his long-held Cuba dictatorship. People imagined and dreamed of dancing upon their discount rugs when this day came–but few imagined the successor would be Fidel’s brother, who most predict will bring little change into their oppressed lives. Much like discount rugs, Cuba is a beautiful country, full of beautiful people. What a bittersweet day for the Cubans. According to the associated press in Miami:
“There was little dancing in the streets, no widespread celebration. In Little Havana, the heart of the Cuban exile community, the long-awaited news that Cuban President Fidel Castro resigned brought only muted glee — and a feeling that little would change for the communist island many had fled.”
Let’s hope the Cuban people will be pleasantly surprised and positive change will cause some dancing moments on their discount rugs yet!
