...ill probably go and see it, looks interesting. good insight, background, portrayal of the L.American democracies in the last decade or so. whether it's biased or not, we'll have to see. if you look arond the world, there are really only 2 forms of govt that work. socialism, or democracy. sweden, denmark, canada, australia, england, so on and so on. dictatorship / fascism / oligarchy may work for a short period riding on a wave of nationalism, but they rarely last. so Chavez / Venezuela have a right to choose and try their way, but we'll see what happens in 15-20 years Smile
