"ahh" ah ah ah ah ahhh ahhh....LOL that's all he keeps saying! What a lousyyy speaker, never mind so called "teacher"??

What is wrong with a government wanting to keep the US out? After stealing all of Latin America's riches, I would want them out too! The US just can't handle not being wanted! lol Nosy yankees should just mind their own business and let Latin Americans be!

@myloveisshared what about gulag, or the 20% OF THE CUBAN POP IS IN EXILE

mira, your critique doesn't hold water..like several people thru-out the world, you say the US stole LA's riches..indeed the US has avoided creating multilateral free trade agreements and hurt LA on economic, political, and social levels..but there is a tendency to blame the US as if they are the reason Venezuela has a homicide rate that is appalling, or the reason why Bolivia has about 20% of its population that isnt registered (no IDs, cant vote etc).LA needs to deal with its probs on its own

Javier obviously knows his facts.Those who disagree haven´t got any serious arguments as one sees for instance by people raising questions about his sexual identity that are completely irelevant.

ok so look. I'm not trying to be a dick, but I think some of you guys need to go to Harvard, get a Ph.D. and THEN you can say he doesn't know what he's talking about. I'm just saying. Sorry.

I live in Canada too., for the past 51 years. And you you are nuts about choosing a doctor, business, and legal aid.

I've chosen lots of doctors in BC and Ontario and started several businesses. The only state consent for starting a business is buying a couple of permits. $75, all done online. Really big barrier to new business...

Don't let your libertarian ideology distort the truth. Because I've been down that road, myself.
