Didn't the father die? I will re-read the article.

Also, I think the article mostly stuck to a factual context, but tended to be persuasive on occasion. But why would one woman be so afraid that she would leave her child behind, and another not? Could it be that there was no one to leave Elian with? Subjective, I know. But I guess the deadbeat dad theory is a dead horse.

re: Clinton. Not dominating is ok with me. But allowing Russians to blind our pilots with laser beams is cowardice. Sure he doesn't want to start third world war.

edit: wrong again - father is alive and wants to keep Estefany.

Why Do I Care?!!

Gezzus! These are the same people who are concerned for freedom and the " American Way " fer chrissakes!

>>This thread dishes abuse out to anyone that holds my view.<<

I have dealt you no abuse,but you certainly troll for it with the absurdities you and some others post here.Most just shake their heads and wonder exactly what prompts or inspires you to " Take A Walk On The Wild Side " during a discussion here.You do not need to go off the edge of a cliff to make your views known.

>>Those on the other site should too.<<

Yes,my friend,they should.But it is a moderated site and biased towards it's own thinking when those that disagree dare to show up there.Freedom of speech.. NOT!!

I found another site that won't let you disagree with the " Freedom For Elain " mantra AT ALL.Freedom of speech agian. NOT!!

And those who dared go near the house in Miami had to be escorted away from the angry mob for their taking an opposing position.And Freedom of speech again. NOT!!

You can say what you want X-x-X,freedom of speech exists for those who think the same way in some venues these days,and this ongoing disagreement is demonstrating to the world just how devided America is becoming along very defined lines, and the power and influence the media and the internet is having on people's everyday life..Scary dude.

I respect ALL views.It's how we learn,isn't it.

PS: I have said my view was..

(A) Following The Law And Order of the land.

(b) Allowing the Gonzolas FAMILY to decide what is best for THEM...as a family.And Elain belongs with the family, and his father should be the ONLY person who speaks for him.Period.That's it.No ideal--ism ---just simple stuff,eh?

OH...and review the embargo.<g>
