Chavez dies

He did more to help the ordinary people in his country than any president has done in my lifetime. In fact, no president since Roosevelt has done as much for the ordinary people of the USA as Chavez did for the ordinary people of Venezuela. And, there were times when Chavez spoke to the USA openly, without flattery, thereby provoking the wrath of the beast. I can respect him for that, as well. But we shouldn't be reliant upon one man or one woman. Nor should we dominated or ruled or controlled or led by one man or one woman, or a class of so-called leaders. If we expect salvation to come when someone helps us, we are sunk.
