You are the one who is right or wrong.. Unless you consider yourself an object, which many of us often are, anyway! :--)) <br /><br />It's a common error these days, so I blame Obama and the Taliban. <br /><br />Now what about "who or whom"? :<br /><br />http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/who-versus-whom.aspxSledgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661701391364214093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-13941435554751989872011-09-14T19:18:37.277+02:002011-09-14T19:18:37.277+02:00Roberto

Even though I agree with you, it is no excuse not to try to make the best of it, comment, explain, etc....<br /><br />I personally think that something is going to happen before any electoral date that the CNE may impose, not due to the opposition but due to the increasing collapse of chavismo from within as the country is clearly going worse daily. Yet, if suddenly elections were to happen under reasonable pretense it would be a terrible mistake not to be ready for them.<br /><br />In fact this is the sole strategy of chavismo today, make us believe that elections are hopeless and that we should not bother getting ready for them. Thus if it irritates them so much that we keep advancing on that way, of getting ready for them, then we should persevere.<br /><br />Il n'est point nécessaire d’espérer pour entreprendre ni de réussir pour persévérer.

October, November, March... they're all the same.<br /><br />Elections will happen with the same machines, same electoral ministry, same rigged REP, same access to funds by officialdom, same curtailed media... I don't get this triumphalist mood that seems to have pervaded oppo people. It reminds me of the previous campaign in a way, with the pretence that what will take place is an exercise in democracy, rather than another charade where Chavez controls everything.ABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10014152460206926913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-32270994725662750502011-09-14T19:04:49.484+02:002011-09-14T19:04:49.484+02:00"...true, but then again i make so few mistak..."...true, but then again i make so few mistakes..."<br /><br />Ahh, the French penchant for humility comes right out! :-)Roberto Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12693120055439617799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-89403660498696846452011-09-14T18:11:12.506+02:002011-09-14T18:11:12.506+02:00jsb
