The Devil's Excrement





  The Devil's Excrement
Observations focused on the problems of an underdeveloped country, Venezuela, with some serendipity about the world (orchids, techs, science, investments, politics) at large. A famous Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.

Just to prove how the Government went "all out" in getting out the vote, here is this little jewel. This is a letter from Coporacion CASA C.A., the company that buys and supplies all of the Government's Mercal markets, which has become the largest importer of food in the country and an equal to the Polar group in terms of food distribution in Venezuela.

This is what this letter, dated December 2nd, two days before the election says, skipping the uniportatnt stuff:

To all of the companies that provide services to Corporacion Casa, S.A.

We would like to ask for your valuable collaboration in the sense of providing us with backing for the movement on the day of the elections ((4/12/2005) of our countrymen to the electoral centers, obeying to the fact that these fewow countrymen lack the means to exercize the right to vote. In that sense, we require that on that day you hire 4 buses of 50 passengers each or its equivalent and that you tell us today, in writing to Fax xxx the confirmation of your support. To that effect, we have designated our regional cooridnators in your state to do the necessary coordination ....

I woudl like to take advantage of this opportunity to ask you to communicate to all your personnel that it is indispensabel for the sovereignty of our people that we all go out and vote

Signed by Major Frank Zurita, Director of commercialization and Logistics

Do I need to say any more?

How about this very realistic humor at a Caracas traffic light! The sign says "deposeta" deposit your vote using a play on words with deposit (depositar) and toilet (poseta).

(Thanks MM)
