What makes you a good person? How do I know you? How do we know Pres. Obama, if we never met him in person neither have spoken with him on the phone? Have we ever gone to dinner with Michael Jackson? How do we know that the things that are written in the media about him are true or false, if all we have is comments given by people in the attempt to slander someone else? Pres. Chavez has not made the wealthier wealthier. On the contrary, made the bitter poor dare to dream with a life of betterment. Here is a translated film to English. I hope you may perhaps start to perceive the nature of giving to others as Christ would have done. El Sistema - a film by Paul Smaczny & Maria Stodtmeier I pray for your understanding to open up to the perception of realities that are not necessarily identical to your own. Other countries in the Americas are making choices in which the norms adopted by individual people in United States are not necessarily seen as a ruling norm for them. You should respect your neighbor's right to their own choices, and it is your right to disagree, but you have no justification in slandering the process of countries that are developing beyond the exclusion and social disarray that are not being yet solved in your own country for the benefit of those whom Jesus came to serve. But, you are right: Chavez does not say anything negative or positive against the USA, but he encourages their people to betterment, that their country too may one day stand up to an International competition as other countries rich in natural resources have done. You are saying quite a lot against the Venezuelan government where you don't have a word to say and do not even have an understanding of their culture, language and traditions. How are you being respectful of some other country's sovereignty?
