I used to love reading Tim May's posts. How would you feel if Murray
Rothbard suddenly started to advocate state intervention in private affairs?
[Yes, I know he's dead.] This post was simply incredible, and if I could
have found a more strong term to use, I would have used it. We have Clinton
and Janet Reno (yes, WE have, what they do is affecting me) and we don't
need Tim May to help them.

Unless crystal balls are common in the US, nobody can KNOW (as in "for
sure") what's in his long-term best interest. "Prediction is hard,
especially about the future" (approx. quote from Niels Bohr). The child is
old enough to know that he was better treated in the US than in Cuba.

P.S. Once again - the father's rights regarding his son come before anybody
else EXCEPT for the rights of the son himself. I don't care how old the son
is - we don't kill two months old children just because it would make us
better. [Well, some of us at least.]
