This article presents the author's views on various socio-political issues in the U.S. One of them relates to the way in which the Vice President Al Gore sided with fanatics and kidnappers in the Elián Gonzalez affair and encouraged local and state officials to defy the federal courts. Senator Joseph Lieberman, a week or so before the vote, went to collect some dough from the Cuban-American National Foundation and then laid a wreath on the grave of Jorge Mas Canosa, one of Miami's most notorious mobsters. Meanwhile, an appalling number of adults disproportionately African-American-are deprived of the vote because Florida disfranchises those guilty of nonviolent narcotics offenses.
