   Via [1]NRO, schoolkids get [2]an unexpected lesson about repression
   and the yearning for freedom:

     The class was at Brown Bay with V.I. National Park Education
     Specialist Laurel Brannick during V.I. Coastweeks in September when
     a man wearing flip flops, a bathing suit and a baseball hat
     suddenly appeared on the beach.
     ...
     Lopez was able to relay his story to a Spanish-speaking student in
     the class. The Cuban immigrant traveled to St. Maarten, then
     Tortola via a boat. He then blew up an inflatable kayak he brought
     with him from Cuba and paddled toward St. John.
     âIt got a couple holes in it, so he ditched it when he got close to
     St. John and just swam in,â said Brannick. âHe told us heâs a
     pharmacist, but he had no future in Cuba. He said we were his
     guardian angels.â

   He'll probably go back once he sees a couple Michael Moore
   documentaries and realizes he's forsaken that wonderful free Cuban
   health care for a heartless warmongering capitalist hellhole.
