Warning! Opinionated Cookie about to spout: I seriously think this whole thing is ridiculous. The kid should go back to Cuba like all the other Cuban children who are sent back daily. Why is this situation any different than the others? The child is NOT an orphan, for crying out loud! He belongs with his next of kin. I think this whole thing is more of a family conflict than a political one. However, the people involved are politically connected, and they realize that there are no laws allowing Elian to stay in the US, so they've drug in the media to swing sympathy to their side in an attempt to get around the law. If the great-uncle was so damn concerned about Elian's welfare, why is he dragging an innocent 5 year old boy into a political tug of war instead of letting--no, *insisting*--that the boy return to his only surviving parent and try to re-establish a normal life after the trauma of losing his mother? I think the only solution is to just split the kid down the middle and let each side have half. :-P Cookie ------------------------------ Date: 29 Jan 2000 19:35:10 GMT From: spin0za1@aol.commmm (Spin0za1) Subject: Re: how about Chipmunk adventure?

Well it happened on June 17, 1994, which was a Friday. http://www.courttv.com/casefiles/simpson/documents/chase.html That night, I was coming back from the movies at midnight and my friend and I heard about it on the radio saying "Sh*t!

I don't remember anything except that I cried and cried and cried. I don't remember hearing the news or how old I was or where I was, just how much it hurt. I'd never met the man but I loved him like he was my favorite uncle. He practically raised me and though I couldn't have been older than 10 I was well aware of the fact. I also wasn't all that confident that his son Brian could come even close to living up to the things his father did. Brian is too bright and sunshiny. There was always a certain darkness to everything that Jim did, even with Sesame street you could feel it. It was more honest. More real. Brian's stuff feels to condescending.
