What future exactly do they forsee for their children in Cuba or Bolivia or Venezuela? Do they honestly think some gringo refugee family will be honored and cherished?
I can see it now...DUers move to Bolivia so their sons 'can have a real future'. Sons don't want to herd animals or sell snacks by the side of the road, and say "Gee thanks, Dad, for bringing us to Bolivia, you idiot." Dad, meanwhile, learns rudimentary Spanish yet is disappointed in his lack of celebrity status among the local animal herders. Dad looks up "pendejo" in his pocket Spanish dictionary. Sons leave to come back to America where at least they can have some fun. Mom, meanwhile, is in a yoga session and lectures all the animal herders that will listen about their need for abortion. Bolivian government politely asks gringo family why there are here. Dad blames George Bush for his profound misfortunes.
I forgot to mention, electricity frequently goes out for hours at a time and hot water is a cherished luxury. Ditto for clean, refrigerated food. Viva la revolucion!
Me too. The amount of fear & paranoia on that DU thread is too much.
:) I partuclarly loved the DU poster who pointed out that, given all the great praise for Chavez on other threads, he was surprized to see no mention of Venezuela as a destination. As of now there were still no takers in extolling th virtues of Chavez's benevolent revolution (see my tag line)
LOL, that was pretty good.
