RE: Memoir Monday #21 (7/29-8/4) - What have been some of your life's greatest surprises?

Hahahaha. No, not yet. It's only half a day here and I'm saving all the beers for Sunday, after the opposition wins the elections in Venezuela, to celebrate the freedom of my country. I send you a big hug, my friend

Sort:  

I hope the election has the outcome you want! If so, maybe we'll move there. It's not looking like we'll be having many good options here in the US. Have a good rest of your day, Nancy!

Are you a Democrat or a Republican? For some things, I can believe you are a Democrat, but for others, I can believe you support Trump.
Oh, and excuse my curiosity.

Honestly right now I don't agree totally with either party. I was actually rooting for Robert Kennedy Jr. but there's no way he has a chance now, he's polling in the single digits. The media has effectively killed his campaign. There are certain aspects of Trump that really concern me. His choices for cabinet positions are especially problematic. They tend to be people with huge conflicts of interest in regard to the agencies they're going to be overseeing. For example, the CEO of a chemical companies being nominated to lead the Environmental Protection Agency and CEO's of hedge funds and banks being nominated as Treasury Secretary. It's like the fox guarding the henhouse. I'm completely disenfranchised by the agenda of the Democratic party even though I used to vote democrat. I feel like American politics is rotten to the core at the moment. We so desperately need a viable third party because I feel like the two we have are really just like opposite sides of the same coin and are making some very horrible decisions.

I know that feeling. The world situation requires a different kind of politician. Sometimes I see some world leaders from other countries and I get envious and ask myself: Why can't my country have leaders like this? There is a saying that people get the leaders they deserve. And maybe it is true.
I won't take up any more of your time, my friend. Have a nice Wednesday.

Can you imagine! If you review the history of Venezuela, in the last century it became a country that received many immigrants from all over the world (the German community, for example, has a whole area that they built called La Colonia Tovar, a wonderful town to visit). For this reason, many of the tourist inns are managed by foreigners who bought houses near the sea or the mountains and created earthly paradises. I have great faith that Venezuela will become the country where people want to invest and spend their lives. Amen, amen, amen and amen. A huge hug, the size of a country.

The pictures I've seen of it look amazing. I hope to see it someday soon! I'm not getting any younger. Lol. Thank you Nancy!
