When I first saw the headline on the Guardian online, "Castro Blogs," I thought for a moment that I was still at The Onion. But no, there -- in all its glory -- is a CiF blog by none other than Fidel Castro. I have to admit I kinda like the guy. He's not the worst dictator you could have, anyway. Here's his post, if you're interested. (And I see Tim Footman managed to get his comment in at the top of the list!)
So here's our question for the day: Can you kill an idea, or are they immortal, as Castro suggests?

A place to discuss issues of faith and atheism, spirituality and materialism, religion and agnosticism, science and morality, the world we live in, and the worlds inside our heads. This is where we go back to first principles, examine our assumptions, and re-jig our mental universes. This is where we question everything!

CB, I would suggest there is possibly a imortality/stupidity matrix that need to be applied , surely a very good fundementally sound idea could possibly be immortal , but what about a crassly stupid one ?
what counts as a crassly stupid idea? religion?
(oops. did i just type that out loud?)
Ideas are the most dangerous weapons in the known universe. Ideas are very often hard to kill because our species is so easily manipulated and we want simple answers that free up brainspace which in turn allows us to acquire more mates, stuff, and territory.
A human idea can live only as long as humans. We're not here forever.
