101. Kitt6, for future reference: Hugo Chavez and Cesar Chavez are not the same person
Wed Jun 18, 2014, 02:16 PM
Jun 2014
That's the question that has stymied a number of Americans this week in the wake of the re-election of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez — an event that coincided with US President Barack Obama's dedication of a monument to Latino labor leader Cesar Chavez.

<SNIP>

Cesar Chavez was a Mexican-American labor, civil rights, and Latino political leader, says the Cesar Chavez Foundation website.

<SNIP>

This (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-10086210) is Hugo Chavez, who has led Venezuela with a socialist, anti-American government since 1999. That would be six years after Cesar Chavez died at the age of 66 in San Luis, Arizona in 1993.

http://www.globalpost.com/dispatches/globalpost-blogs/weird-wide-web/hugo-chavez-and-cesar-chavez-are-not-the-same-person-glob


And neither spells their name "Chavis"!

So which of these two men are you "further to the left of"?

I refuse to participate in juries and have found many people that is on juries see it as an opportunity to censor others without respect to whether or not a post violates the ToS, is offensive or otherwise inappropriate.

So I just don't play the game. I try to keep my posts here squeaky clean and post my real feelings on other sites that do not have German Stasi style censors.

I still enjoy browsing DU and do post but it isn't a place I go to to get the latest information or share my real feelings anymore.

I've somehow managed to never have a post alerted on, without having to do any self-censoring. I've only hidden maybe 3 posts as a juror. It seems like it takes an effort in order to get a post hidden.
