The Devil's Excrement

These imaginary dialogues could have been part of the comments section of this blog:

-January 2004, Juan Chavista and Pepe Opposition meet to have coffee:

JuanCh: You see, I knew there was fraud, Chavez is saying it.

PepeOpp: Come on Juan, just because Chavez says it does not make it true.

JuanCh: But you have to admit the signatures have the same calligraphy so it needs to be investigated.

PepeOpp: But the international observers saw the person gathering the signatures writing the names

JuanCh: Didn’t you see the four cases Chávez showed on Sunday.

PepeOpp: That does not prove anything; it’s only a small sample.

JuanCh: Let’s do an audit of all the signatures

PepeOpp: That’s ridiculous and a waste of time.

JuanCh: It isn’t a waste of time, if it clears the air.

PepeOpp: But a sample will tell you the truth.

JuanCh: But Rodriguez said a sample was not valid.

PepeOpp: What does Rodriguez knows about statistics, he is a psychiatrist.

JuanCh: You guys just have to be patient, what’s the rush?

PepeOpp: The rush is this is going to take forever and that’s not good for the country.

JuanCh: Why don’t you accept the truth, there was fraud and you did not get the signatures.

-August 2004, Juan Chavista and Pepe Opposition meet to have an arepa:

PepeOpp: You see, I knew there was fraud, the CD is saying it.

JuanCh: Come on Pepe, just because the CD says it does not make it true.

PepeOpp: But you have to admit the results are funny, so it needs to be investigated.

JuanCh: But the international observers saw the lines of Chavistas and said the results match.

PepeOpp: Didn’t you see the coincidences and the exit polls the CD showed.

JuanCh:  does not prove anything, it’s only a small sample and who believes in exit polls.

PepeOpp: Let’s do an audit of all the votes

JuanCh: It’s ridiculous and a waste of time.

PepeOpp: It isn’t a waste of time, if it clears the air.

JuanCh: But a sample will tell you the truth.

PepeOpp: How do you know where the fraud took place and if the boxes were changed?

PepeOpp: You guys just have to be patient, what’s the rush?

JuanCh: The rush is this is going to take forever and that’s not good for the country.

PepeOpp: Why don’t you accept the truth, there was fraud and the “Si” won.
