I was in Key West with my family at a convention when a group of 9 Cubans came ashore in a small wooden boat with a primitive engine. I had been out sailing the night before in 6-9 foot swells and strong winds. They had set out around the same time. How they made it is beyond me.
I've never felt so proud of my country and my countrymen as at that moment when average citizens forced cash into these immigrants hands and let them use their cellphones to call home and let their relatives know they were OK.
America, with all her problems, is the finest country the earth has yet produced.
