This is amazing, and sad and stupid all at the same time.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez believes natural disasters around the globe are rooted in capitalism.
As reported by Agence France-Presse, Chavez, in a radio and TV interview, said the recent earthquakes in Pakistan, India and Afghanistan, and the mudslides in Mexico and Guatemala were nature’s answer to a "world global capitalist model” that has left the world "dangerously off balance.”
Chavez antagonist, American TV evangelist Pat Robertson, takes a dissenting view. He said the natural disasters were forecast in the Book of Revelation, and point to "the end times" and Christ’s return.
Yet another reason to hate capitalism. Could someone tell me why capitalism gets such a bad rap and socialism/communism (which when has been implenmented never works, and tends to kill a lot of people) is praised?

While capitalism isn't perfect and leaves some people out, communism makes everyone equally miserable, except for of course the people who are more equal than others, i.e., the big ones in the Communist Party.
I'd rather make my own decisions with capitalism than be equally miserable. But then again, that's just me.
ah intelligent comments both of you. Very nice, I am honored to have smart people commenting on my blog.
Will, the great part with capitalism is that people usually have to start at the bottom. I am a bagger right now, I am working my way up through the ranks. The people that choose to stay at those jobs are fine too, as long as they earn a living wage good for them.
