i know its not proper to bring up politics

That's only true for US politics, and I suppose Canadian, just to keep the board from going nuts.

I think everyone here would agree that the Venezuela that Hugo has created is a complete mess. The very poor that he has fed understandably love him, they just don't understand that it will all disintegrate soon when there is no more oil or any other production to sustain the cash flow. They'll probably blame it on the next guy and canonize Hugo.
