We lived in Venezuela from 2001-2004 and it was both interesting and sad to watch the changes Chavez was bringing about in that country. As children in America, we grow up learning definitions of words like freedom, democracy, balance of power, peaceful transfer of power, and freedom of speech and religion, but I don't think I understood what a truly amazing place the US is until I saw those rights slowly being taken away in Venezuela.
I heard this on NPR this morning and, of course, thought of y'all. Even in the short time we stayed with you, we could see how unstable that man made the country. YEAH for Venezuela!
