1 ----- You'd send that poor kid back to a communist country where, in just a year or so, they're going to take him away from his father anyway? What are you anyway, some kind of pinko?

2 ----- Have you got something against old growth redwood trees? Did you know that less than 5% of ALL of the old growth redwoods that used to exist in the world are left? What are you anyway, some kind of corporate greed monger?

3 ----- Haven't you ever read the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution? Did you know that less than 1/10th of 1% of all the guns in this country have ever been used to shoot anyone? What are you anyway, some kind of bleeding heart liberal gun-control freak?

4 ----- Did you know that 95% of heavy drug users started with pot? And that pot kills hundreds of brain cells every time you use it? What are you anyway, some kind of drug-crazed hippy freak?

5 ----- Damn, haven't you read the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution either? Don't you realize that it is exactly our right to burn the flag which makes this a truly free country? What are you anyway, some kind of radical, flag-waving, right wing conservative?

There you go, Andy -- that should make you feel better!! <g> ----- jim o\-S
