Pt2
Prisons in Venezuela are practically run by the inmates, each prison has a sort of leader self called "Pran", this guys have so much power that they are practically a mini dictator in the prison they are in, and this is the best part they have guns, money and all sort of luxuries that the honest good citizen working guy could only dream of the National Guard who are supposedly in charge or keep order in prisons, just limit themselves to guard the perimeter to so no one gets out....and instead of putting an end to all this madness and fix the whole penitentiary system which is even more rotten than the rest of the venezuelan society...nooo, the government makes deals and concesions with them....WTF?
Viol ence and Crime is in its highest...remember the "prans" well their power isnt just confined to "their" jail...they also have their conexions in the "outside world"...ransoms are very common here, criminal gangs are better armed than the police, almost everyone here has been robbed at least once...and murders count match those of a warzone, the poor people who live in slums are the more affected by this....and what does the government do? NOTHING! they deny the existence of this, ridicule everyone who dares to complain about this situation, they even say is your fault that you got robbed/killed/ransom ed/etc...

So please tell me how is president hugo chavez a good politician when his home country is in the $h¡ttiest state ever? all this while Oil barrels are above 100$...dont wanna imagine how things will get if the oil price drops.

It's very easy to support a "president" from afar...especially if you dont live under his boot suffering the consequences of his government madness.

Chavez is the silver stake to the vamperic western politicians.   I for one am hoping Hugo lives to 125. 

ps..  Here's hoping his gold bars were not tungsten filled & that he had them all cropped & assay verified.

He's from few politicians i don't wish to die.
