Cuba's Ernest Hemingway House 'Do It Pappa's Way!

Habana Cuba is home to the former home of Ernest Hemingway which has
just been listed by the National Trust of the USA as an historic place -
and being Havana of course -- is falling apart and in need of
restoration.

For those unfamiliar with Cuban President Fidel Castro - the home is
alleged preserved and Hemingway made part of the 'correct culture' of
Cuba. In essence Hemingway's legacy is used as a propaganda piece.
Maestro Hemingway went into exile from Cuba in 1959 rather than be a
Cuban prop.

So why not ignore Castro's pleas .. sympathize with the National Trust
for Historic Preservation which likely cannot channel money for
restoration through Castro's dictatorship safely ...

And ... do it Papa Hemingway's way :

"Let it rot or Blow it up!"

... before Catsro makes money holding it hostage.
Most Hemingway fans believe that the house's destiny should flow
concurrently with Cuban idependence and Cuban representative democracy.

Viva Cuba Libre!
