re: #40 yenta-fada

For example, I believe Chavez of Venezuela to be immoral. He has sold his own country out for the sake of grabbing more and more power on the world stage. He has turned a democracy into an almost thugocracy for the sake of his ego. His people no longer have freedom of speech and can have anything from their businesses to their lives sacrificed at the whim of their leadership. Their news stations have been obliterated, except for the State news. Their oil has been used to draw alliances with other Latin American nations, and the country has become a Hezbollah stronghold in the region. The people suffer an increasingly Cubanized way of life.

I met a Venezuelan two weeks ago whose stories expand and elaborate on what you said. He’s hoping to become an American (by marrying my sister).
