If Judy thinks we can agree the Puritans were right to leave, the

centuries were in America to the Jews, it still was a kinder, gentler
world -- with more hope and potential for a good life. (I'm not sure how
seriously to take Robert's comments. He seems to have turned into a
comedian of sorts.)
My post, Stan, was writ sarcastical, as Mike Nichols, or somebody used
to say. It was in response to Irene's recommendation that Mexican
immigrants should stay home and reform their own country instead
of coming here.
