If you could free just one person, who would it be?
Edited on Wed Dec-29-04 09:50 PM by Cuban_Liberal
Just assume you could do so without hurting anyone else.

I would bring my grandmother here from Cuba, so that she could live out the rest of her life free, surrounded by her kids and grandkids.

Next.

4. George W. Bush
I would set him free from his bitterness, his sense of inferiority, and the deeply ingrained structure of fear that seems to be the only thing holding his psyche together.
Open up George! It's never too late to change.

I mean...we invaded Iraq for all the wrong reasons, but the man committed terrible crimes against his people. Don't you think he deserves to be in jail?
