1. Wait it out.

Now that's a brave strategy that creates heroes.
The exiles have been working it for 50+ years - and done quite well with it (financially speaking).

OUCH!

3. What's life expectancy for rich Cubans?

The two Castro brothers are kinda old, but they do get excellent medical care, and eat well. They are the new rich, you could say.

So I guess they got some years left. Being Cuban, I've noticed whitish looking Cubans like them, when they get old, tend to get Alzheimer's and other diseases which render them unable to think straight. I'm betting both of them will be giving gibberish speeches before they die - but they'll still be propped up and "running things" like mummies at an Egyptian carnival.

4. I'd rather use my rights of free speech and agitate for freedom in Cuba

You know how it is, some of us just like to make trouble for dictators and human rights abusers. But what will you do when their gig is up? Defend Kaddafi? He's getting kinda old too.
