Still catching up on case work.<br /><br />Quite possibly I will actually be putting up two posts this coming week all being well. All sorts of subjects...legal, PPC, Codes of Conduct, ESC, Sharp Report, bullies still making drunken, threatening phone calls...so much it is difficult to choose.<br /><br />Not to mention some serious thank yous that I must make for the huge number of cards, e-mails, phone calls and the like of support. They have certainly given me a boost - almost as much as some very useful information I stumbled upon today! <br /><br />But what gave me the biggest smile? Knowing that a drunken bully just can't help himself...Oh how I laughed at his stupidity...<br /><br />Great thing Karma. Tick-tock...<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Trevor<br /><br />*PS<br /><br />Having not updated for a few days I will also go back through the comments and check if any are still relevant to put up anyway.Trevor Pitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15197434138079787935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356563206883049966.post-19774894327328389712012-04-16T00:52:42.582+01:002012-04-16T00:52:42.582+01:00In answer to a post that I haven't used becaus...In answer to a post that I haven't used because of the usual childish abuse. No, I have no difficulty acknowledging shortcomings with Chavez nor do I feel any need to try and defend him from criticism.<br /><br />Please read the post again and try to make comments accurate to what has been said and I will be happy to use them. I do find it a bit odd that for all of your criticism you appear unable to accept the established fact that Chavez is recognised as having done a lot of very positive things; though certainly not succeeding in all. <br /><br />I am happy both from my own contacts and reading respected writers that there is simply no comparasion between the corruption before Chavez and that still existing now. Of course, it certainly pays the US to continue to peddle such propaganda about all who stand up to the 'Empire'- just as it has always done.<br /><br /><br />Remember the CIA (or was it former FBI) operative who claimed with a straight face that Pinochet was not only the creator of modern Chile but did not have thousands of his own people tortured, raped and killed? <br /><br />Then again Margaret Thatcher was an apologist for the mass murderer Pinochet too, wasn't she.<br /><br />Perhaps you should also listen to the interview John Pilger does with the multi-millionaire who has exploited the system for years and yet now, whilst sitting in his huge, plush mansion tries to tell Pilger that under Chavez 'it is like the Bolshevik revolution in Russia.<br /><br />Pilger politely points out the absurdity of such a comment. There are no people attempting to break down his door or steal his property etc. The sheepish response to this reality is basically 'Well, yes, but now we just don't know which way the country is going'<br /><br />I don't know about you my anonymous poster but when you have two arguments the closest truth is often found somewhere in the middle. But at the bottom line would I rather share a drink with Chavez or George W. Bush?

But if someone hardl...A interesting thought, Agnes. But if someone hardly ever works such charges would not be fair, would they? <br /><br />What I find particularly odd even for the troll is that his rants even extend to attacking Hugo Chavez - presumably for no other reason than because I have written about this individual. H obviously could not even try and keep it objective but the usual hate-filled, spittle-flecked abuse. Sad really and obviously not going to get published.<br /><br />For readers information, however, the troll seeks to suggest that I am saying Venezuela under Chavez is some kind of 'paradise'. As any rational person can quickly see by reading the post above I have made no such claim whatsoever. <br /><br />What I am saying - and this is backed up by many authorative accounts from respected writers and, indeed, even personal contacts of mine in the country - is that for the 'average' man and woman and particularly the very poorest Chavez has made inroads into improving things. Just as important he is acknowledged as the first president to really attempt to do this.<br /><br />But do I suggest this president is perfect? No, troll. Try and grow up a little. Still, if your obsession with this blog keeps other more vulnerable people free from your sick and cowardly fixations - fair enough. Keep ranting...<br /><br />But for any who are genuinely interested in the subject matter and prefer to read rather than watch documentaries. I would suggest two books that are well worth reading. <br /><br />I sugest these particular works because I don't think there is much to be gained from reading any of the gushing, nothing-but-praise titles OR the anti, and often even hate-flled far-right American tomes at the other end of the spectrum either.<br /><br />The two I recommend are, in my view, and in that of others I respect, fairly straight down the middle assessments of Chavez, his policies and what he is attempting to do. I haven't got either in front of me as I have loaned them out. But off the top of my head the first is by Richard Gott and the other by Bart Jones. Hope I got that right. You should be able to find them on the net.<br /><br />TrevorTrevor Pitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15197434138079787935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356563206883049966.post-11380175515817288092012-04-13T18:00:30.426+01:002012-04-13T18:00:30.426+01:00Big Trev
