Paul C:

 

Yes, but that's not the original issue in this thread: is Venezuela the

most democratic country in Latin America? It is SURELY more

democratic that the USA and every other nation in the hemisphere

where wealth and class, to a great extent, determine who is

elected. I suppose that one could make the case that there are

other nations which are equally democratic, such as Bolivia since the

election of Evo Morales.

 

In solidarity, Jerry
