The Devil's Excrement Moves from Venezuela: The flight of the Middle Class
I just found out the author of "The Devil's Excrement" left Venezuela. I am leaving too, probably will be out within 60 days. Crime is too high, and the Chavez regime too tyrannical for my taste, plus the economy is really slowing down, and pay is a lot higher elsewhere. But I thought he expressed it so well, I wanted to share it with you:

FROM "The DEVIL DOES NOT LIVE HERE ANYMORE"

"Thus, this weekend I moved with my family to another country. I will go back periodically for work reasons, but my main residence will be elsewhere. There were two main reasons for this tough decision, one that came from the mind, not the heart: Crime and the absence of the rule of law. I stared at both of these in the face and it is something I don’t wish on anyone. You feel like you are not playing on a level field. If the crooks don’t get you, the other “crooks” will and you have no way to defend yourself. There are no instances, no appeals, you have no rights. Time to leave.

And so it goes…it’s called self-preservation."
