Cincy, would you ping your list for me?

I saw you mention the situation in Venezuela on another thread, and thought you might be interested.

"The Fire Down South"

Thanks for the links bub...but there for a minute I thought it was going to be another red-head story....you know, the fire down below. :-)

Those are interesting links, are there any articles about any more-or-less succesful Latin countries like Costa Rica which has allowed at least partially for a middle class? I think the whole problem in all these countries is that they try democracy but they don't have large middle classes and that's the only way you can have democracy work.
