To think that, just, 15 short years ago these people would have had to suffer the indignity of having their stores full of all types of consumer articles with no lines, no required documentation, no fingerprinting, no waiting, no hassles. But that kind of soft, bourgeois living was obviously having a very deleterious effect on the Venezuelan common man. Thanks to the Revolution, having this citizen's family living on sardines will make them stronger soldiers in the ongoing fight to expand the splendid Chavez legacy. Not to mention what future glories their children can look forward to.
