*OT* First of all, I think I know where you are coming from. I've been to Canada a number of times. In 1972, I hitchhiked from Quebec City to Vancouver on that major Interstate of yours. I spent a good month walking the trails in Banf and Jaspers ( the real rugged Rocky Mountains) and I spent a whole summer in Montreal in 1976, a couple of blocks from Magill University, where my brother went to Med School and married a French Canadian Girl ( She loves NYC by the way.). I had a great time in Canada and thought the Canadians were extremely humane and nice. In contrast to some of the State Troopers in the US who use to search my back pack like I was a fugitive, the Canadian police would stop and ask me if I wanted to be taken to a youth hostile. After I said no, they just smiled and moved on. Many Canadians used to comment to me often that I was not your typical arrogant American who came up to Canada and started bragging about how great the USA was and how Canada was merely an offshoot of the USA. It's true, I wasn't that way and I let the Canadians talk all day about their great country and why they chose to live there rather than the USA. All I can say is they treated me great. I liked the women too <ggg>.

Now for that Cuban Boy. I think he should go with his father. This is not a political matter. It makes no difference whether Cuba is communist or not. The rights of the immediate family are higher than the rights of the state. That is the bottom line. The child is 6 years old.

I remember the lesson of the great Greek tragedy, the " Antigone", where the state overstepped its bounds.
