And personally... rain is really lovely and waters the garden.

It is going to be under water in 2013? From what?

Rising sea levels? I thought global warming was debunked? I'm lost. Heh.

As far as i know the only thing debunked was that solar system warming was unique to earth HJ.

Maybe it's not too good to be true. I was thinking about going to Chili this winter after my semester @ university, but now I'm thinking about going on a trip there instead to check it out for myself.

MadS... take it from a guy who lived for four years in Santiago, and Concepción...

Chile is a country in South America.

Chilli is a lethal substance which I manufacture on my stove.

From the FAQ:

Q:Can foreigners own property on Margarita Island?
A:Yes they can and your private property is protected under the Venezuelan constitution.

Q:Can the government take your property?
A:No they can not, no more then they can in the United States.

Q:Is the government stable?
A:Yes it is stable with a democratically elected president.You should probably do your own research on this, a little poking around and you will see that the U.S. corporate media demonizes lots of different countries in Latin America, most of all Venezuela.



Hmmmm.... Says I.

I've heard about this from numerous sources. From what I understand, they have a limited local supply of oil and are refusing to export it. Good for them! Someone in their government didn't sell out.
