The Devil’s Excrement will come back sometime tomorrow after a good night’s sleep. Ideas, ideals and principles can never be compromised. It has been a long and confusing day. If Rosales says he lost, he has seen the numbers, I believe it and accept it. I still wonder about the abstention levels I was called about at 1 PM this afternoon by his projections team and how they were reduced so fast.
I think that Venezuelans made the wrong choice today and that they will unfortunately see the results of that bad choice sometime very soon. However democracy is indeed the rule of the majority, and I am definitely in the minority.
I still say I would prefer a Government without uniforms, without guns, with lots of compassion, with belief in the power of knowledge, education, a free mind, investment, with respect for everyone not for just some, a Government for all 26 million Venezuelans, an honest Government, a Government that cares when people are killed or robbed, a Government that would call on the best and not only the trusted to solve problems.
I don’t believe Hugo Chavez represents any of this and tomorrow I will begin chronicling his next six years, for as long as I can.
