LINES OF THE DAY
". . . But the past does not exist independently from the present. Indeed, the past is only past because there is a present, just as I can point to something over there only because I am here. But nothing is inherently over there or here. In that sense, the past has no content. The past -- or more accurately, pastness -- is a position. Thus, in no way can we identify the past as past." p. 15
". . . But we may want to keep in mind that deeds and words are not as distinguishable as often we presume. History does not belong only to its narrators, professional or amateur. While some of us debate what history is or was, others take it into their own hands." p. 153
Silencing the Past: Power and the Production of History (1995) by Michel-Rolph Trouillot

That was very insightful. Lately Castro's writing has been uneven. It's either brilliant or off the mark. I hated his 9/11 writing.
See this.
Ren -- the link isn't 'there.'
Love, C.
the man is still sharp as a tack. If i remember correctly, his brother recently got more votes for president than he did. or perhaps I heard wrong?
Graeme -- Normally, I wouldn't ever cite U.S. A. Today. But it's a quick and easy cite.
[ Bespectacled, camera shy and far less charismatic than Cuba's ailing long-time leader, the 76-year-old Raul received 99.4% of votes cast in the family's base of Santiago in eastern Cuba — a percentage point more than Fidel got. ]
Love, C.
See this.
