Satan's Poop Inc. Paila Master: PicturesPictures tell a story much better than words. I can tell you about marches, demonstrations and events, but nothing beats accompanying what I am saying with pictures to show the truth. In this section I include all pictures from other sections, except the orchids......Another shameful day in Venezuela's democracy- October 23, 2007 It was typical of the discrimination and repression that has characterized this Government during the last eight years as student marched to the National Assembly today to present their comments on the proposed Constitutional reform and ask that the process be delayed so that the reform can be discussed and modified to satisfy the largest possible percentage of Venezuelans.But you can not even find democracy in the country's Parliament.

(GDP is up!).

This is a clear example of the lack of transparency and the lack of credinility of the numbers thew Government publishes. Imagine after the Central Bank is no longer 'independent"!!!http://blogs.salon.com/0001330/categories/pictures/2007/09/30.html#a3662 |
