As the
charade about the nominating committee for the Electoral Board continued today,
both pro-Government and anti-Government media seemed to concentrate their
efforts in measuring things by whether the people nominated are or not in the
Maisanta database, which according to them gave a 50% split for that committee. Maybe we should also publish their
tax records, pay stub, sexual preferences, kid’s pictures and wife’s pictures,
as well as having an opinion from the religious or military counselor and/or
psychiatrist published. That way we can really invade everyone’s privacy and fully violate thier rights once and for
all.
Let’s go ahead and put a label on everyone in the country, that will guarantee we will never
get along, ever, which will surely help the future of this poor
nation. Hey! We could even make it quantitative. One could say, for example, so
and so is 86.5% Chavista according to the new and improved Maisanta database. Or
how about: we can not hire this guy, he only rates 66.3% for the opposition
according to Maisanta 8.0.01i. I can even imagine this one: He can share in the profit in this shady deal, he has a 92.3% Chavista rating. Maybe people could have their rating stamped in their ID card!
I guess
all I can really say is that I am happy a physicist with a Ph.D. that I know
made the committee. I know that physicist are well trained to make decisions
and I know he is fair and competent. So, I rate the committee as 10% OK, 90%
unknown, for whatever is worth.
I did read a positive thing today in one of the local papers, which had this quote:
“Nothing
is as dangerous as to allow the same citizen to remain in power for a long time,
because people will get used to obeying him and he will get used to ruling them;
from which tyranny and usurpation originate”
Now, that
is one Simon Bolivar (who now our President claims was a zambo) quote you will never hear Chavez ever saying in public.
