34. Thanks for some fascts from someone who is actually
living there. That link is a good one, I've been reading their reports and have bookmarked it.

I laughed too when I saw this latest piece of trash 'reporting'. The last one was lying about Venezuela's Education law. Not one fact about the law itself has been reported in the MSM here.

So, I researched it myself and as a teacher, I have to say it is so exciting to see such a progressive law. It leaves out no-one, the disabled, women, the poor every ethnic group. Venezuela is lucky to have a leader who cares so much about those who elected him. I really wish them well as they had so much to overcome and still do.

Chavez also seems to have surrounded himself with some very smart people, both men and women.

I laughed when I read this latest diatribe. I am from the East End of LI and in the Hamptons, you can pay nearly $20.00 for a bowl of spaghetti in some places. But no one in their right mind, and certainly no one honest, would ever use those numbers as standard prices for the rest of the country.

It was obvious that those prices, from the wealthiest areas, were being deceptively used for the sole purpose of trying to make Venezuela look bad. I am sorry to hear about the press in Venezuela and I hope there will be more independent journalism there as time goes by.

Glad you are here. How are their immigration laws, btw? Sounds like Venezuela might be a good place to go, at least for a visit.
