But, yogi, Elian was taken (without paternal permission- despite Gao's comments, I don't believe his complicity has been verified- others say he was stunned that they were gone and called MIami because he thought that might be what happened))-- anyway- taken by his mother (who almost killed him in the process) in order to follow her boyfriend to Miami. (One article quotes her best friend in Cuba as saying she was desperately in love and hadn't a political thought in her head- true? Who knows?) His MOTHER decided to bring him here. Therefore, he is MEANT to live here! She DIED for this!! She wanted... she wanted.... Vox populi BUt wait! Who is SHE to decide this? His mother? Pah! Who does she think she is?? He is an individual-! How can she make these decisions for him! Did no one ask him what HE wanted?? Did he want to get on that rickety raft? DId he have a clue what he was doing sailing off to a foreign land? This is about as logical as our telling Juan he has no paternal rights. Because we agree with her, she gets to wear a halo, but Dad, poor man, is a pawn and a dupe and should have no say in his child's future. What you fail to see I think is that I agree with most of your principles. ANd your opinion about Castro. ANd Clinton. (not sure about Reno yet) But see you as just as misguided as you think I am. Ah well... Also I think that the whole stormtrooper image is irrelevant to THIS part of the discussion. Besides I can not bear Donato Dalrymple .
