I have added the link to a new Venezuelan blog by Guillermo under Venezuelan blogs, he apparently lives in Cambridge, Mass, a place dear to my heart. I enjoyed his piece on Venezuela, the way he tells the Chavez story and his descriptions of the problems his familiy had leaving Caracas. It all seemed so familiar the way he tells it….. The blog is called Venepoetics clearly suggesting what its main focus will be.
The Devil's Excrement
Observations focused on the problems of an underdeveloped country, Venezuela, with some serendipity about the world (orchids, techs, science, investments, politics) at large. A famous Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.
