Reading Ruth Sunderland's article on Carlos Acosta posted by Dirac in "Links", i came across the following phrase towards the end:
"Cuba's loss is our gain: we are lucky to have him living and working here"
Cuba didn't loose Carlos Acosta.  He is and always been very proud to belong 100 % to that island and he always make sure that that is recognized everywhere.  He's just, as many of us, another cuban who had to leave our homeland to try to have a decent life, and i find very disrespectful to describe a "gaining" situation out of these sad circumstances.

In many ways Acosta has always been 'on loan' and he his recently mentioned that when his performing days end he plans to return permanently.

Loved the picture, didn't realize he was a Dad, congratulations to him.
