In a suprisingly strong statement Bishop Porras replied to the statement by Vice-President Jose Vicente Rangel I blogged about last night. Porras said that “it was pathetic to hear the things that Rangel had said, which were nothing but an expression of the huge irresponsability of someone who everyday has less credibility”. Porras added that “the least that any authority may do in its own country is to condemn the barbaric act of decapitating religious images related to the country’s primary faith”. Strong words by someone who usually tries to be diplomatic in his relations with the Government. I guess I was not the only one that was outraged by the Vice-President’s statements and cynicism.
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.
