From Mr P. Montebello

I am not going to comment on Lou Bondi’s article today.

My comment is on a four-letter word used three times when referring to the USA. This four-letter word is FREE. I do not believe the USA is the ideal we have to admire. In the USA a man is free only if he has money: since he can buy anything, even the leadership of the country. In fact, the two contestants for president are usually the ones who can gather the most dollar bills. One is free if his skin is white: just see the statistics on how many blacks, for example, are condemned to death as against whites; the difference when handing down sentences. How can a man say that he lives in a free country when there are so many arms in the hands of so many people and children?

I’m sorry Lou: I could never live in such a free country.
