When I was in school back in the 50s, using the masculine was grammatically correct and had been for centuries. But years later, probably when the feminists got going, that changed. Suddenly we were expected to use the gender appropriate to whichever person we were talking about.
I can remember when I was about 4 or 5 years old, in a tiny railroad town. The hobos would come to our door asking for food. One time my grandmother was cooking fried pies when they knocked on our door and she gave the two of them fried pies and coffee. They sat on the porch and enjoyed it. Anyway…they had bundles on sticks.
Better to spend some money now to send them back than to continue to let them all in forever and ever. If you send all of them back now, then eventually it will pay off for the U.S.
You are forgetting that Cuba was/is a Communist country. If his Commie father had custody of him, it was probably because his mother was against Communism but his father was FOR it. Naturally, since the entire country was COMMUNIST, their courts would assign the child to his communist father. The mother was killed in the effort to cross the waters to get to freedom. Pretty honorable, if you ask me. No matter how you look at it, Elian would have been better off with his relatives in the U.S.
You are mistaken, N. Korea has more than one bomb.
