i'm real curious to see how this whole "the minamb wont issue any open pit mining permits" thing works out.....not only for kry/grz but for venezuela....no open pit mining means no coal/iron also .... those are two things they do NEED regardless of oil prices... sometimes i wonder if venezuela is'nt run by a bunch of high school dropouts...

my take on the ven govt:

the VP goes to hugo and says.."hey hugo, ju got anyting por my wife to do? she's driving me puck'in crazy mang!! she likes trees and squirrels and stuff"..

hugo- "sure mang, how bout dat meenister of enbironment yob? nobody could puck dat up..."
