Doing the opposite of whatever they seem to be advocating generally seems to work pretty well... -- /  dave  / PS - Can anyone throw out a few engaging and entertaining film (video) recommendations for a 9th-grade high school class? A friend is looking for suggestions for a sort of "free day" he does every once in a while for his math classes. I see a great opportunity, but I confess to being stumped at the moment, given my typical viewing proclivities. (I was thinking about Central Station, but I suspect - I KNOW - the subtitles issue would get in the way...)   -------- Original Message -------- <table BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 > <tr> <th ALIGN=RIGHT VALIGN=BASELINE NOWRAP>Subject: </th> <td>Cuban child Eliancito needs your Urgent help!</td> </tr> <tr> <th ALIGN=RIGHT VALIGN=BASELINE NOWRAP>Date: </th> <td>Wed, 16 Feb 2000 19:34:45 +0100</td> </tr> <tr> <th ALIGN=RIGHT VALIGN=BASELINE NOWRAP>From: </th> <td>"Urgent Action!" <recycled2@softclub.net></td> </tr> <tr> <th ALIGN=RIGHT VALIGN=BASELINE NOWRAP>To: </th> <td>arouet@winternet.com</td> </tr> </table> <style></style> Cuban child Elian González needs your urgent help!<a href="mailto:President@whitehouse.gov,FirstLady@whitehouse.gov,Vice.President@whitehouse.gov,MrsGore@whitehouse.gov,web@usdoj.gov,Press_Release@writeme.com">President@whitehouse.gov,FirstLady@whitehouse.gov,Vice.President@whitehouse.gov,MrsGore@whitehouse.gov,web@usdoj.gov,Press_Release@writeme.com</a> Hi, be sure this is a unique message that we'll send you. If yo agree with the following text, please, clic in the link above, copy the text & send the message to President Clinton!Thanks in advance!Sincerely yours,Freedom Network / For Cuba's Liberty! ------------------In Communist Cuba, the jail island, according to the Constitution, it is not the parents that have parental rights (or "patria potestas") as it is known in civil law countries.  Parental rights are exercised by the Communist state, that denies the legitimate right of parents to give their children the education that they deem adequate. To send little Elian back to Cuba is not to deliver him to his father and family but to the implacable Communist regime that will not only take possession of his body but also of his soul, as it has done with entire generations of young men, women and children in that unfortunate country. By this reason, we express our most vehement protest, before God and History, for the decision of the US Immigration and Naturalization Service / Department of Justice to send back to Communist Cuba the child Elián González. This decision, if not urgently and quickly reversed, will be without any question one of the most shameful stigmas in the history of the United States of America!-------------------- Please, it's urgent! Send your message to President Clinton! Thanks, FreedomNetwork / For Cuba's Liberty! </body> </html>
