       The poor in Venezuela need to take a HARD LOOK at Cuba and see what   
   happened to the poor there. They are STILL poor. The only difference is that   
   now EVERYONE (except the ruling elite) is poor. And they are MORE poor than   
   they were before. Even if they won't look at Cuba to see what hell is like,   
   they can ask themselves if anything is really better now under Chavez? Do   
   they have good housing now?  Good health care? More freedom? Or is it just   
   about the same? Where is all that oil money going? To the people? In a pig's   
   ass! It's going for a HUGE arms buildup for Hugo... Arms to be used against   
   WHO?  YOUM THAT'S WHOM!
