  It is infuriating that in the long run of setbacks for Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and Burmese democracy, the latest comes courtesy of an American religious zealot and his misguided "mission." As an American who has spent the past eight years raising funds for Burmese refugees and raising awareness about the political situation there, I am heartbroken that this nut has put Suu Kyi's potential (if unlikely) freedom in peril once more.

  I found this article unconscionably full of untruths and innaccuracies - tabloid journalism at its worst. The writer used every bit of tale telling harvested from the agenda-ridden ex-wife and failed to check out the lack of truth and decency portrayed in each juicy statement. Labelling this man a "tramp" in the author's cutesy title is a telling start to this sensationalist account. There are so many instances of sloppy fact-finding: Mr. Yettaw never claimed to be a Vietnam vet nor was he in combat. He did not put his thumb "through" a man's eye but in fact took the drunken, gun-wielding man down with an eye socket hold after he threatened his wife with a gun in front of several witnesses. The handicapped sister did not die in childhood, but in fact survived until age 36. John, the younger brother, was her guardian after the death of their mother. The statement,"He's like get me out of here" is attributed to Betty but actually came from the 17 year old son, Brian. John is accused of leaving "a ten year old and three teenagers unsupervised. They were looked after by a neighbor and alternately the present wife. The 13 year old actually flew to California with his dad to stay with his grandmother, bujt the ex-wife allowed him to travel alone, back to Missouri. So in reality only three children were left and the ex-wife sent the fourth one back. I find these and several other statements to be libellous in nature both from the ex-wife who does NOT have custody and has admitted to trying to prove him an unfit father, and from a journalist who ought to be watching his careless writing.

  "The intentional error"
  
  People who are in media are a business and they have this
  pattern of statement; they realize the error in the statement,
  and know all the possible responses.
  
  For example: Lets complain about the new addition to your
  household electricity system, the smartmeter. Lets make the
  complaint: "I expect a backstop for this product." or "I expect
  this product to improve and both versions worth the investment."
  
  (If you don't know "backstop" means replacing a product because
  of environmental improvement.)
  
  The company knows the responses, they are accepting criticism in
  this way:
  
  The initial consumer ranking game is "comfortable marriage"
  
  1) Who is your assigned male?
  2) Explain why he was employable?
  3) Does your memory indicate that your finances want to fit in?
  4) Are you changing the system?
  
  The purpose of ranking consumers though marriage-ability is the
  next obviously important "personal comfort". Personal comfort
  is obviously important to pricing, the economic lingo that is
  usually used in it's place is happiness or satisfaction. I
  really want to point out that the consumer ranks those
  qualities arbitrarily, it is your personal taste, style,
  attitude, your cool, that you fit in the same as years ago.
  
  Personal comfort is exactly why their are twenty times the number
  of raw resources that go into a car vs. a computer, yet the pricing
  is what the consumer will pay for comfort or satisfaction.
  
  So who's "personal comfort" changes the company, by setting
  consumer trends, changing prices, effecting shares changing the
  CEO. The people who at the same time claim approval of a respected
  male income.
  
  The fact that the person running the business changes but follows
  the same systematic conversation running the company, indicates
  their is simply a pattern to running a company, they change the
  company like most other consumers, they simply bring their
  "marriage comfort" hence "personal comfort" for the consumers
  preference, relating to the important consumers preemptively.
  
  So is my only response to media, "dad had a perfect death".
