        Scalia and Castro really can't be rationally compared.

        Sure. Just brought up Scalia in a vacuum, did you? Do you celebrate all deaths? Did you dance jig when S. Jobs died too?

        I actually said nice things abt Scalia and defendants rights when he died. But I understand why others celebrated.

        All those Americans who tried to float to Cuba on inner tubes to escape the murderous Scalia had nothing good 2 say when he died

        no but a lot of gays celebrated Scalia's death. I'm okay with that.

        Then why don't you celebrate Castro, who actually imprisoned gays in his country.

        I could care less that he's dead as he has been mostly dead for decades. But I'm fine that others are celebrating.
