And on the topic of musically- inspired feelings, the song that has been playing in MY head non-stop after hearing Capriles last night is… "Patria" by Ruben Blade; I am sure well known to most. The words " ...la patria no la definen los que suprimen a un pueblo..." speak to the essence of what this young man has given us back, even before next Sunday. And, as an immigrant myself, you are right.. El Avila.. es para siempre! <br />Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-86397700029872957992012-10-02T01:32:09.488+02:002012-10-02T01:32:09.488+02:00Este capriles no es ningun gafo.

So many of us who grew up in Caracas share with you the imprint of el Avila, impossible to forget. Someday I hope to return to my hometown, as I used to more frequently to visit a large extended family. That is, before the madman's bubbling cauldron of chaos gave way to what looked more like Dante's Inferno. Ni hablar del odio que se percibía. It was not the change of progress but that of progressive deterioration, everywhere I looked. And it shocked me to the point that I decided not to return until the madman was out of office.<br />sydnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-2967409205475854582012-10-01T17:48:57.503+02:002012-10-01T17:48:57.503+02:00Y yo no esperaré el 8 para perdonarte porque ahora...Y yo no esperaré el 8 para perdonarte porque ahora que lo pienso, debias estar todavía bajo el schock del ataque de headlinitis bbcitas. :)Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128609182544333477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-1976230975590159542012-10-01T17:45:49.135+02:002012-10-01T17:45:49.135+02:00Daniel,

Most of us could not even enter the Bolivar avenue past the ALBA hotel!

No, the real hero here, the truly responsible, is the people. I would probably argue this regardless, but your last post supports my case quite elegantly. A bigger rally than the one which was depicted in your headline picture for oh, so many years? Some movements are bigger than one man.
