Threatened Venezuela: 'Touching the Revolution!' - Part III - Les Blough
FPF-fwd.: Editor Les Blough of 'AxisofLogic' [http://tinyurl.com/5r78o] - has after his visit to Venezuela published his third article on the growing democracy in Venezuela in his work ''Touching the Revolution!'' - Part III.
Quote:
''The third installment of this series, Touching the Revolution! is an attempt to describe my impressions of the people and atmosphere as I experienced them at IVIC. It will also include the first of a subset of interviews I conducted with research scientists, faculty and directors of this institution.
The first of those interviews, published below is with Dr. Alberta Zucchi, Deputy Director of IVIC's School of Anthropology. Others will be published in coming days.
"Do not adopt the best system of government, but the one that is most likely to succeed. Unity, unity, unity, must be our motto."
- Simon Bolivar
When visiting The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela anyone will observe obviousdifferences in income, lifestyle and standard of living among Venezuelan people.
Because of their education, training and backgrounds, these high achieving women and men at IVIC are of course, living differently than the very poor in the barrios.
However, there were no traces of the pretensions and attitudes of entitlement at IVIC that we so often see in US culture. I found a parallel to this observations, when I spent two days in the barrios. There, I found the same warmth and a surprising absence of anger, envy or societal depression among the people whom I met and randomly interviewed.
I suspect this is in part due to the fact IVIC and Bolivarian University has reached out to the community and has now been made accessible to those who could never have afforded or gained access prior to the Presidency of Hugo Chavez Frias.''
