I have not posted anything about Henrique Capriles Radonsky, the Mayor of the Baruta municipality of Caracas, being freed because I was looking for something wise to say. He should have never been jailed because according to Venezuela’s laws, he should have been tried while in freedom, but justicewas manipulated sufficiently to keep him jailed for quite a while. My only educated guess at this point is that after his case was handled by nine different judges and the last one, Leon Villanueva, being detained for extortion, they could not find any more judges that could be manipulated easily.
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.
