Now that the Atlanta appeals court has barred Eli n's release from the US until the legal jungle has been completely beaten back, there is no legitimate reason whatsoever that he should not be immediately released to the care and custody of his father. None. Still exploitive motives for L zaro to hold him of course, but no good reason. "For all of their complaints that Castro wants to indoctrinate the child into the morally bankrupt ideology of communism, Elian?s Miami kin have inadvertently been guilty of an indoctrination of their own. He has been taught the crassest, most plastic of American values, the idea that material plenty equals moral virtue. Like it?s a great country because we have Toys ?R? Us. But the greatness of this country is not solely, or even primarily, about what you can buy here. It has more to do with reserving to an individual the freedom to choose his own path. Charlie Davenport might understand that. Because in the end, no one forced him to be free. Instead, he was allowed to make a decision about his own life ? a poor one, to be sure ? and have it honored. That, paradoxically, "is" freedom. And Juan Miguel Gonzalez deserves no less." mydrum.com "inadvertently" ... i think not ... they know full well what they're doing >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Imho personal attacks on fellow posters do not aid the discussion ... fwiw ... cheers
