[Steve Cassani]

I hope none of Miles' family, or any close friend, is made to endure this display of meaness. In claiming to give voice to a 'possibility' and couching that claim in the presumption of conspiracy by a large corporation, the suggestion Miles is alive shows itself to merit comparison with with undermining the respect owed a dead soldier for the 'reason' God, unlike American's, hates homosexuality. Giving voice to the idea is symptomatic of the speaker's inability to find himself in the company of other people before he learns their thinking. Offering the idea Miles is alive a place in a popular magazine strains to make the reader hear it as satire. Repeating the idea here is, if offerred in any but a misdirected attempt at humor, disrespectful.
