That was me, and yes, I feel the attempt was particularly ill-prepared (i.e.
the actual attempt was so doomed to ultimate failure it was literally
terminally stupid). Perhaps this is a reflection of my deep respect for the
open ocean, perhaps it's easier for me to see the danger having sailed so many
times, but this one seemed especially irresponsible. As to wanting to escape
from Cuba, no that's not stupid, but then I never said that it was. But then,
this wasn't so much about getting away from Castro and Cuba as it was about a
custody battle.
Since the Warsaw Ghetto uprising has absolutely nothing to do with Elian's
plight, I see no point in responding.
