Why is ...Right, Chavez the saviour of the poor... <br /><br />Why is it so difficult for people to see this postmodern Robin Hood for what he is? For the same reason millions of people believe that there's a god out there, overseeing every human action. <br /><br />Ideology has got to be one of the worse human traits.ABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10014152460206926913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10659894.post-72077382731965754972011-01-08T19:50:39.202+00:002011-01-08T19:50:39.202+00:00Good points.
