Joseph Kennedy's (another pinko-commie!) Citizen's Energy Corp. was all embroiled in controversy over accepting Venezuelan oil. I'm sure you know about that.

I'll look for it for sure. Stone is a Vietnam Vet, like myself, and served in the same division, the 25th Infantry Division. The movie "Platoon" was about the unit I served in in 1969.<br />We buy our gasoline from Citgo stations. That's Venezuelan oil. Chavez's policies allowed heating oil to impoverished people at reduced prices, many Native Americans living in poverty. Read current info about the oil giveaway here:<br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20090105/citgo-heating-oil/<br /><br />Google Citgo Chavez and see the articles about people up in arms about Chavez.In my opinion, if corporate capitalism hates him so much, he must be good!<br /><br />Peace!Spadomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17781369901345409341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512858685634922680.post-44337439821816137042009-09-16T00:09:46.764-04:002009-09-16T00:09:46.764-04:00"Oh.

I don't doubt his sincerity but he's up against forces which have been allowed to run amok and run the country: i.e. the corporations and industries. And that cracker Joe Wilson - that was beyond the pale of rudeness. Now that's un-American.<br /><br />JM - Okay, so it isn't just me! :-) I didn't understand the Spaniards in Barcelona nearly as well as I thought I would. Although, more than one elderly waiter, when offered a choice, preferred my Portuguese to English. I guess that makes sense. The young people, though, seem to enjoy speaking English. That is also my experience with my young Portuguese cousins. I like to improve my Portuguese and they want to improve their English!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17296223961815248113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512858685634922680.post-91995399568469735202009-09-14T09:16:21.060-04:002009-09-14T09:16:21.060-04:00I've seen a documentary about the movie and I&...I've seen a documentary about the movie and I'm very curious about it.<br /><br />I have visited 10 or 11 countries in Central and South America and, as a portuguese, I can see why it's easier for you to understand Latin American spanish! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783877262954668959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512858685634922680.post-65254277876311654742009-09-13T17:31:01.965-04:002009-09-13T17:31:01.965-04:00I know too little about the Latin American politic...I know too little about the Latin American politics.
