You wanna' explain to me why they risk their lives, day after day, trying to get away from a place they're so damned in love with to get to a place they supposedly hate? Not questioning your logic one iota but this phenomenom of them taking to the open seas in anything from a bathtub to an old Chevy truck on pontoons doesn't exactly sound like the Garden of Eden you've described - Don't suppose you judged Cuba from the carefully segregated touristy areas now did you?
