The last thing I heard of them, was the revolution. That was before my birth.

How did you hear about the revolution before your birth?

...what is your point here?
 
Fidel Castro retired, about 2 years ago, passing the power to his brother Raul Castro. Raul is willing to enter into negotiation with the US. I don't know anything more.

I'm implying that I have never heard of anything happining in Cuba throughout my entire life, and that the revolution is almost all I know about Cuba and what has happened there.

So it sounds like they aren't faring too well then, are they?
