The Dracula Of Oil

Chavez: No, we don’t want them to go, and I don’t think they want to leave the country, either. We need each other. It’s simply that we have recovered our oil sovereignty. They didn’t pay taxes. They didn’t pay royalties. They didn’t give an account of their actions to the government. They had more land than had previously been established in the contracts. They didn’t comply with the agreed technology exchange. They polluted the environment and didn’t pay anything towards the cleanup. They now have to comply with the law.

    It's becoming easier to tell who exactly the enemy is. If the Bush elites are smearing - you know it's gotta be someone that believes in obliterating poverty, farmers receiving a fair income etc. I love the way he has taken trade back to the exchange of goods and services rather than if I have enough money I'm the only one that gets to exchange anything. This really is the most humane, enlightened and "trusting that the universe will provide for all" kind of approach to life that I have ever seen in a world leader.
