@ rrojas .. Can understand posting from abroad .. True to answer your question/reason. Most ppl have (and will) spent their lives living safely in suburbia with no idea of true hardship or fear to them its an abstract thought seen briefly and watered down on the nightly news, they never had property seized, travel restrictions..the fear of someone coming to drag you from your home and torture then kill you all because of speaking out against tyranny..and as result they become complacent and dont care as

they think oh thats terrible but it wont happen here so its not our problem. And go on living thier sheltered lives. And yes the media is filtered to keep the truth from getting out.

Well, tomorrow are the presidential elections. Polls show that the 2 strongest candidates are actual president Hugo Chavez with 52% of support and the Zulia gobernor Manuel Rosales with 48% of support.

Lets hope that elections will go without problems, without any violent protests and at the end of the day we could have a new president.

I will try to post tomorrow the results at the end of the day or any related news.
