Subject: RE: Air hostess calling herself ambassador!
Many years back in the civil rights era a fellow I knew who had left the US because he didn't want to be involved in Vietnam was over at my place. He was from Alabama. I don't know how aware you are of American history, but back then Alabama had a reputation for being backwards and racist. I'd been there in the mid 1960s on some civil rights stuff and so I asked him why it was so 'ugly' there. Brian (his real name--he died about eight/ten years ago) said, "Because the good guys don't make the news." I have remembered that since 1970.

I know you have experience with Argentina, and I do see that. Despite the front you put up about some stuff on Mudcat, and the tails you just love to tug on, you're a much more compassionate person than you let show. I saw that with so many of your threads over the years and the social justice issues you have chosen to post about and then argue about, with darned near everyone. LOL

If you do find the photos, I hope you'll somehow link to them so we can all see them. Wars and economics aside, poverty is a killer the world could do without. For poor people the bomb has already dropped.
