Just catching the news she has died.

Well at least we know she is now getting what she deserves.

 :applause:

I can never forget the picture of that little Cuban boy Elian being ripped out of the arms of his father by a SWAT team member.

You are afflicted by that part of a proverbish saying that goes something like this (because the English version might be a translation): One way to be deceived is to "know" that which is not true.

In particular, what the SWAT team did was to remove Elian from a household where he was being held by self-righteous relatives, in defiance of a U.S. court that had decided in favor of his distant biological father.  The household comprised mere relatives in Miami, none of whom were members of Elian's immediate family

• .  So Elian's father was not in the photo.
  
  Elian's father was confined to Cuba, as are nearly all inhabitants of that anachronistic atheistic communist dictatorship.  But it seems to me that the traditional Catholic point-of-view would be that a sole-surviving parent should have legal control over his toddler-age child.  And should have had the deciding vote over his wife when they disagree over the residence of their minor children, yes?   Especially if it's true that his wife took Elian without his knowledge
• .  No matter what more distant relatives think or want, even when they are Cuban-"exiles" residing in the U.S.A. 

Or the other egregious things she did under that disgusting pervert she worked for.

It seems to me that it would be to your advantage to refresh yourself with the basic facts on those "other things" before you write about them.

Note #: If Wikipedia resolved the predictable edit-wars on that topic in favor of the actual facts of the matter, instead of resigning itself to the propaganda of the most persistent side, whether the Cuba-inhabitant or the Cuban-"exile" side, the Mediterranean-looking man holding the toddler in the famous photo was not even 1 of those relatives, but 1 of the nonrelative fishermen who fished Elian out of the seawater in which he was floating in an inner-tube.  His mother, who did not survive the risky voyage in a seriously-unseaworthy vessel on which she took Elian, went on her own initiative--i.e., without agreement from, nor even the knowledge of, her husband--was that a Catholic act?  She was so imprudent that she went despite not knowing how to swim (and, I suspect, not even how to do an emergency-survival float for hours).  I confine these details to a footnote, because neither they nor Wikipedia are essential to my rebuttal; we here in Florida were deluged with coverage of the story and its miniscule developments for months, whether we were interested in the family drama and its publicity-wh@res or not.

Why do u say    shutup...???
Is it the truth       ......  or not
