Is it possible for you to "engage" without making it personal? You pretend to show concern about me being taken seriously. I can do amateur psychology with the best of them, and my analysis of you, is that deep down you are really concerned about you being taken seriously. So, typical of the discourse in Washington these days, you "engage" by first using an insult and then you expect serious discourse. Do you really not see the problem? Or, are you simply trying to bait me on purpose? If you are doing this on purpose, what is your goal or point? I have already stated that I am not going to change. Hell, I have been in relationships with women giving me sex that wanted me to change, and I didn't. So how do you expect your insults to motivate me to change? It ain't going to happen. So, for the third or fourth time, if you don't like me, my style, my sources, my logic or lack of logic, etc, etc, ignore my posts.

agree or not with the overall interpretation in this--or any other--actual research on the question, and you'll see that your basic claims are based, as i said before, on nothing.
Not true. I was playing Mercenaries 2 World In Flames on Xbox, the setting was Venezuela. It was extremely helpful in forming the basis of some of my views. There clearly is absolutely nothing else that could support my position on Chavez, correct?

dippin's right in that chavez has not done all he claimed he set out to do, but the fact is that the nature of the movement that he represents is not bidness as usual, the modality of doing politics is not bidness as usual, etc...your "interpretation" isn't even consistent with that of the right opposition in venezuela--and typically, you're a connect-the-dots kinda guy--which has the advantage of at least coming from *somewhere*...
What does that have to do with him getting overthrown? Perhaps, you simply argue against the wrong point. There are people in Venezuela who are motivated to overthrow Chavez and they don't care how much he has done compared to what he said he would do.
