Unfortunately, they have Chavez who is like GW on steroids. If Venezuela were to use their oil revenue to improve the health of every citizen and make sure everybody got a chance to attain a high level of education, they would be able to grapple with whatever other problems come along successfully. Venezuela has a golden opportunity that is being wasted by BOTH sides. The future of civilization is people. Healthy, educated, happy people. We can't do it for our own citizens reliably and I really hat it when we fuck over another bunch of people because we love to spoil their lives. How quintessentially American is ruining somebody's life just in case you need his resources?

How quintessentially American is ruining somebody’s life just in case you need his resources?

You really have to love the part where she was talking about a rigged election. Seriously? We tried to stage a fucking coup on a democratically elected leader and HE'S the bad guy... Wow. It's a pretty easy look through history to see exactly why they all hate this guy. It's really simple. He isn't giving everything to the upper class. If he was systematically raping the resources of his country, dropping wages, and destroying unions, he would have been invited to sit behind Bush at his latest speech. But he is spreading the dangerous idea that everyone can benefit from the nations wealth and that is something they cannot tolerate. What if it happened here? My god, it would be chaos. It's really that simple. This country is being run by, and giving air time to, really fucking sick people. Welcome back Mike, got a little worried when the site went down.
