Protest all you want but I live in Guatemala and see that the MAJORITY of the people can't afford a computer, much less an internet connection. It's very convenient no, that the people who can afford to throw away that much money for an internet connection to the First World demand to be the voice of the poor who can barely afford to eat.

Haha. I was in Caracas last month. The *people* love Chavez. Those who don't are the people who miss all the pennies they were squeezing out of the poor to subsidize their oppressive lifestyles.

How amusing. Despicably so.
