(Venezuela) – Please read this:   "Chávez Threatens to Jail Price Control Violators."   It's an article in the New York Times by By Simon Romero. I don't know where it shows up in the actual paper or even if it made the pages of the actual publication read by socialist hopefuls everywhere, but it is profound in its implication.

Socialism, and the barbaric methods needed to enforce such unworkable economic dreams, are killing Venezuela. This wonderful country with so much potential is being ripped apart.

This is the gift of socialism. This is the path it always takes. Always.

Please read it.
