Another wretched story out of Venezuela. <br /><br />I have to ask the cynical question, though, which is, how many of the folks photographed (not to mention other, ex-employees not present) have voted for Chavez? The corollary question is, how many more times will the majority of Venezuelans vote Chavez before it dawns on them that the guy is bad news for them and the country as a whole? Does everyone have to be out of work before they get it?Tambopaxihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978665666431987347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-3764355886947977692010-05-10T21:38:35.136+02:002010-05-10T21:38:35.136+02:00I loved this place too, used to stop here all the ...I loved this place too, used to stop here all the time on the way to Maracaibo.

Have official statements from the nation of Venezuela really descended to this level? Yes, they have, and even more tragically it seems that for most people in the country this is OK.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07605250739418926462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-43369304708320433062010-05-10T06:05:21.608+02:002010-05-10T06:05:21.608+02:00I used to watch this silly old movie called Red D...I used to watch this silly old movie called Red Dawn.<br />It had Cubans invading the US spouting Marxist Ideology as the vanguard of Russian attack.<br />It seemed so ridiculous until you see what is happening to your country.<br />This is absolute madness.<br />Does anyone really believe that this will be used for any productive social reason.<br />More likely to end up as a reward to some party hack like Nicaragua under the Sandinistas.tejasjeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00768179390818145887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-28646276081074026332010-05-10T02:59:33.147+02:002010-05-10T02:59:33.147+02:00This is so very sad.
