Hanymanherb, you're correct on that post. Just look at the relationship that Chavez has with Castro. He is emulating Castro to a tee, in that Castro is his mentor. That is what Chevez wants, a lifetime position as president of that country. Look at what Castro has done for Cuba, they are living about 5 decades behind us. Back in the fifties, tourism flourished there. Now Cuba is decaying with the people there trying anyway they can to escape. I've spoken with many tanker ship captains that enter the Mississippi River from Venezuela. They describe how Chavez has imposed additional fees on the tankers coming there to take cargo. Chavez has imposed outlandish fees on foreign industries there to support his government. He has confiscated private properties along with the telecommications there to become state run branches of his government. Recently an opposing radio station was shut down for his refusing to renew their liscence. Anyway you look at it, he's bad news. He's bad news now, and just think for a minute, how bad will he be in years to come. So am I going to support one of his base of operations?As long as I have a choice in the matter............... HELL No, ..........OK, I"ll step down off my soap box now.......WHO"S NEXT???

 

I would only buy from citgo if it meant I would run out of fuel otherwise. I have been boycotting certain movies because I dont like the way some of these hollywood jackasses handle themselves and the things they stand for. If all people let their dollar show how they felt we would be in a better place.
