: : : Well,a huckster at least has success on occasion, and I've had zero with you. Your case is primarily a psychological.

There's something about Communism which drives people insane, turning them into paranoid, hypocritical, intolerant yahoos. In a rational world, there would be no question about what to do with a young boy whose mother died, and who had a loving father waiting for him at home: return him.

Now go hop in your imaginary F-15 and kiss Rummell's and Sheehan's combined arses.* --K
