Why would anyone take anything that Hugo Chavez says seriously? If p. m. Putin were to make a sharp turn it would surely break Prez. Chavez's nose. Brown nosers are not taken seriously.

Why should not States' leaders amongst the "Non-Algned Movement" voice their criticisms of how the World economy is still run in the interests of those that had kept their citizens as virtual slaves for so many centuries? Of some 200 "independent" States only 5 imperialist ones have cornered the wealth of the rest by guile and usury. Crops are grown in many African countries for example "under contract" for sale to Cartels in those 5 at "market" rates so low that even the growers are left starving. Is that not a crime? In my mind it sure is. Let's hear more from them. Let's hear from more of them. Let's hear how they are uniting in overcoming this modern form of slavery. Yesterday it seemed as if Zimbabwe and Lybia were alone amongst them. Today its the turn of Venezuela and the BRIC States - Tomorrow - the whole of Africa? Questioning "Where To Begin?" "What's To Be one?" will give the key answers to this overwhelming problem of how to feed educate house and end pandemic diseases for all 6 billions of us in the nearest future living in peace and friendship.
