  Agreed it may be.  However given his political bent that he has displayed,
it would seem that his political agenda is somewhat in disagreement with his
background (See below).  There of course may be several reasons
for this documented fact..  I will leave all of you to decide for yourselves
what those potential reasons are...

  I don't get this impression from the NC and especially from other
constituencies.

  I don't know where Alejandro gets this impression.  Seems rather
odd...

  Than why is Alejandro on the NCDNHC mailing list?  And if this
statement is true, why is he representing the NCDNHC at all?
