Remember the movie "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"? In that movie, aliens from outer space would inhabit a human's body when that person fell asleep, changing that person from a loving, caring person into someone who no longer felt love, empathy or compassion for other living things.

Somehow, overnight, these Democrats turned into Republicans. DOUG WILLIAMS, ROBBINSDALE
