Dear Paul,
Just to clarify it was not me the one writing about moral learning
last week...
As for Fidel, hmmm, I must confess that I cannot share your enthusiasm.
Save for the rhetoric, I can't see much difference between these two
characters.
And, as for the burial of Pinochet: the guy will not be actually
buried but incinerated.
The family is all too aware that literally there is no place in Chile
where he can "rest in peace".
The ironic question is where they will save the ashes.
