The revolutionary people and government of Venezuela are generous, good hearted and patient, maybe to a fault. I read in the excellent informative blog OIL WARS of how the good people of Caracas suffered through a funeral for the soon to be off the air Radio Caracas TV. I would not even try to compete with Oil War's coverage and analysis of the participants in this funeral procession,or of the history of RCTV's active subversion of the political process in Venezuela, something that suddenly the oppositionists so dearly cherish and prize.
Hats off to OIL WARS.
Part of the reason I will probably be retiring to Venezuela is the sweetness and goodness of its people. Man, here in the US they would never,and I mean never tolerate what the RCTV management tried to pull in 2002. It's this sweetness that explains why RCTV has remained on the air since that time and why its owners know that they can walk and drive through the streets of Caracas or anywhere else in Venezuela. Had they pulled the stunts here that they tried there they might very well be in Guantanamo. The government waited for the license to broadcast expired, refused to renew it and that was that. Lucky luckito are these oppositionists in Venezuela.
