interesting remarks, CJR.
won't be long now until the VZ elections.
I've always been one to think that even if "revolution" sounds like an answer, it probably isn't a good one unless a well thought out and achievable alternative to something better is likely. Elections maybe fall into a similar category. Status quo is sometimes best unless opposition becomes organized so they may occupy in power.
The work Fung has done getting us contracted with China seems brilliant to me. I have come up with no reasons why Chavez won't like it, and I worry some new VZ leader could decide he doesn't like it, if Chavez is overthrown. So, I'm all for KRY/China/VZ all getting this thing done before VZ elections!
