    For a second I got all excited, when I thought it was Bill Gates and Aleister Crowley. That would be one kickass photo-op, especially since one of them is dead.

    I actually do find this whole aspect of the Gates Crowley saga pretty inspiring. This could have been over as far as the Gates and Crowley are concerned as soon as the garden beer party was over. Another somewhat hopeful offshoot from the Gates story is that the Boston Police Department and police union all have apparently turned on Justin Barrett after his unfortunate remarks about Gates. There was a time when the cops would rally around an asshole like that no matter what he did. This wasn't the case this time.

    Yeah, the President used his office to get his Professor friend some play with a local cop.

    That local cop is now a friend of the Professor and the Professor joked that he will use his position of influence to get the cops kids into Harvard.

    Happened to me last week. My kids got accepted to Princeton because some cop arrested me for DUI, but the President of Uruguay intervened and we all had a drink in Paraguay.

    Normal stuff really.

    UGH!

    Do they have families with them? What if they want to start families? Can they build some semblance of a community where they are? I know that we are supposed to be looking at this as a silver lining, but these are real people with fully human needs, desires, and aspirations. There’re more to them than swimming in the ocean and catching fish.

    Aren't most Uighurs from China? That would make them Muslims in a NON-Muslim country? Still not a crime, but it explains a lot.

    Wow, this reminds me of a great-aunt of mine who was interned in a concentration camp during World War 2, then was in a refugee camp in Sweden for a while. She was finally settled in Puerto Rico and she would swim in the ocean every day, rain or shine.

    @BookishLookish:


    There is something archetypal about escaping to a shore.


    [Spoiler alert]


    It's perhaps no accident that The Shawshank Redemption ended with a beach scene.

    As a Bermudian, I have to say -- of course they love Bermuda. We practically have to drag people off the island..

    @noasalira: I actually couldn't wait to leave Bermuda. I had a work/fun trip there and couldn't get over how insanely expensive the place was and the transparent economic stratification disturbed me.


    Then again, that's why I hate most tropical islands (though I know Bermuda isn't one). It's also insanely conservative, socially. Wasn't it illegal to be gay (or engage in gay PDA) there up until fairly recently?


    But it's pretty as all get out. That's for sure.

    @Trulymadlyme: Bermuda is far less economically stratified than the United States.


    With all the dragging people off, it is good when a few leave on their own :-)

    @noasalira: I was working in a Hospital and stayed in Hamilton, which might have colored my viewed a bit. Everyone I met was either insanely wealthy or struggling. There wasn't much in between. I guess it was noticeable because the island is so small!
