But it would behoove us to go easy on the jokes and parodies in this regard. Well... the other choice would be to cry, since the exaggerated use of fanatical expressions of fundamentalist ideologies leaves little else. Reason seems to be a non-starter, given the clear political diarrhea that it is exchanged from the top of the echelons all the way to the bottom. In the process, such free use of paranoia filled statements leads me to believe that they all must think that their respective interlocutors are brain dead --at best. Is this the result of a justice system that is more apt to exist in a bizarro world? It appears that unfortunately, it exists in a very real world. The one in which we live. So, I chose to laugh. somos seres humanos, todos Yes, that is a main point of my own way of thinking, as far as I am concerned, nations, flags, borders and the like are mere concepts used by politicians to divide people, all of us. It is ignorance and worse yet, those who pretend to keep people ignorant that are the real evil of humanity. Not someone who comes from a different part of the globe by a mere accident of nature, seeking a better standard of living. Or someone who has a different way of speaking. Reason and respect for the individual ought to be the common denominator under which, people and their actions should be judged. In this particular case, as it has already been mentioned to death, that the reasonable thing to do is return the boy to his father. Since it is a basic right that can not be attacked. Such does not mean that I agree with el t¡o Fidel, or that I support the use of military oppression upon regular people. --Where does one draw the line ? The rest is pure political pendejadas, nothing else. ______ From the link you provided: 6. What accounts for the rapid growth of the Hispanic population? The growth in the Hispanic population is largely attributable to increased birth rates and a rise in the level of immigration since 1990. From 1990 to 1996, Hispanic women between the ages of 15 and 44 were estimated to average 106.3 births per 1,000 women yearly, compared to 67.7 births per 1,000 births for the total population. In addition, the immigration rate for Hispanics was also higher than that of other groups between 1990 and 1996, with an estimated average of 15.1 immigrants for every 1,000 Hispanic persons per year, compared to 3.1 immigrants for all persons. -- a cojer a cojer, que este mundo se va a desaparecer !!
