Venezuela Mia

La plaga revolucionaria. THAYS PEÑALVER | EL UNIVERSAL jueves 6 de enero de 2011 12:37 PM Muchos jóvenes me han preguntado: ¿cómo es posible que esto esté sucediendo? O ¿Por qué la gente no hace nada si somos la mayoría?, con todo respeto voy a utilizar la lectura de un libro La Peste, de Albert Camus y así tratar de explicar porqué no actuamos como deberíamos. Los sucesos comienzan en una ciudad llamada Oran, en Argelia cuando un joven doctor tropezó con una rata muerta en el descanso de su escalera.

Today they operate via cable TV. They created this video. Please read the transcript but also, see what is happening on the top left of the screen as each journalist and camer...

Here is the story that inspired me to create this blog ( english version ) A continuación describo la historia que me inspiró a crear este sitio ( versión español ) English A dear friend of mine married a Venezuelan citizen. On a trip to Caracas to meet the rest of the family, her husband got stopped in the middle of a main road by a group of policemen. Upon lots of interrogation to make sure he was a Chavez supporter, he then was asked to prove it by turning over all his money. When he did not produce any cash from his wallet because he wasn’t carrying any, they put him in handcuffs and told him he was going to jail. He begged and pleaded for them not to take him to jail. The policeman’s solution was to take him at gunpoint to the ATM machine. He took was told to take out the maximum and gave it to the policeman. The policeman then asked him to drive him back to the road block and then wished him a good day. As a Venezuelan citizen myself, I decided to start this blog so the entire wo...
