Worrying trend of violence against children emerging in Honduras, warns UNICEF

2. I was shocked to learn how profound my ignorance was during Elian Gonzalez' oddesy to Miami,

where he was kept imprisoned by the right-wing reactionaries of the Cuban American National Foundation and their minions.

It was the first message board I ever read, CNN's now defunct Cuba-US Relations, and only then because I wanted to know more about Elian Gonzalez and what the hell was going on there.

Reading the posts from the right wing sociopaths and the ones who felt he should be repatriated to his homeland to live with his father, step-mother, tiny step-brother, two grandmothers, two grandfathers, a host of aunts, uncles, cousins attracted posters who opened my eyes to US policy regarding the Americas, and I could never turn back.

Since that experience meant so much to me I feel a need to share what I can find. If it does any good, I am so glad. As our own school systems in this country have refused, along with our corporate media, to acknowledge anything of value has ever happened, or anyone of value has ever lived in Latin America, I feel anything anyone can do is needed to overcome the deep silence we've had to live with regarding so many, MANY people right here in our hemisphere between two oceans, especially regarding the ones who are ill-treated and regarded by the European-descended racist murderous greedy hogs who stole their countries, and ran roughshod over the survivors, and treated all their darker-skinned descendants like rubbish.

Thank you for taking the time to send a comment. You are very kind.
