VENEZUELAN President Hugo Chavez has returned home nearly three weeks after undergoing cancer surgery in Cuba, saying he is praying for life.

"I lift up a prayer ... in this battle for life," he said in a televised speech on the tarmac. "We will live and we will win."

The best route to a humane world is spiritual. Human beings have to make voluntary choices to be charitable and not to be selfish. It can not be legislated. One huge hole in Marxist philosophy is the idea that only the haves can be selfish. The fact is that selfishness occurs at all levels of the socioeconomic ladder. It is no less selfish to sit on one’s butt and expect others to take care of you through their tax money than it is for a corporate executive to want a bonus or to look for a tax loophole. Selfishness is ubiquitous in human society, and all that politicians do is play to the selfishness of one group over another.

I was reading an oncologists remarks on Hugo’s 2nd cancerous growth in the same region they removed the primary one less than one year. The doctor didn’t think the long term prognosis was all that favorable. Who knows and we shall see-— but Hugo is living on borrowed time now.

To whom do Communists pray? Jane Fonda once called on her listeners to pray that some day America will become a Communist country.
Well lets hope Hugo gets right with God-—although he’s been reading books by one of his favorite authors Nietzsche
who was somewhat of an atheist albeit not in the rabid sense.
