Venezuelans are idiots

So pollster Oscar Shemmel of Hinterlaces made a rare appearance in VTV to expose his latest poll findings, with a twist in their interpretation.  My conclusion?  If what he says is true then we are a country of idiots and we deserve what is happening.

In short, 50 % of Venezuelans want an change in direction.  Yet 60% approve of Chavez handling of the country and yet between 60 to 70 % disapprove of Chavez management on specific points of importance.

Go figure!

This in a country which just today offers us this, and just on the medical ethics of medicine:
  • Mandatory organ donor status for all.  That is, if you do not want to be an organ donor you need to state it while you are alive.  Otherwise Venezuela will probably become an organ exporting country considering the excessive murder rate we suffer...  and considering how the legal system works here go and stop organ harvesting from your loved ones.
  • Cuban half trained medics to work as if they were fully trained doctors.  That is right, from now on the doctors trained in less than 5 years in Cuba will have the same rank in front of the law as surgeons and fully trained doctors who require at the very least 7 years of studies, AND TRAINING; which is more or less missing from the Cuban trained medics who at best make a stay in some hospital emptying bed pans and such shit.  True, they are trained for Barrio Adentro but still... (A post on that coming soon)
  • Chavez gets full treatment in Cuba for his ailments, all expense paid, including his court.  But in Venezuela if you are a political prisoner you get to rot in jail with your cancer.
But poor Chavez, he is so charismatic, he looks more like a colorful relative than the president, so in spite of it all we love him!  And give him 60% appreciation!  I shmell something rotten.....

F..k us!
