RE: Complementing the Emperor on the New Clothes
Great analogy. Great post. Man, my country, Venezuela has fallen to pieces because for 18 years or so we have had fictional conversations like the one you've posted materializing with horrendous consequences to our people. "People don't learn by others' mistakes," and "man is the only animal that stumbles twice with the same stone", so goes the saying, and it looks so true.
Either they have not been paying attention to the epic Venezuelan disasters or they want to try a piece of that nasty cake themselves.
Mexicans, you may be next in line
... Please, pay attention to the signs.
Oh man, I am so sad about what's going on in Venezuela. :( And I hear you man, but I think we stumble far more than twice with the same stone :P
Some people stumble indefinitely with the same stone haha.
I don't know much about Mexico, but Brazil seems to be heading in the same direction as well. Probably many other countries as well.
All the best to you and hopefully these things change sometime soon.
Thanks, bro'. It's been a nightmare and, despite international efforts (whose transparency or true good intentions are hard to tell), there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel in the short term. Families keep splitting (more than 5 million Venezuelans gone somewhere else), people dying of starvation of lack of medicines, crime running rampage. It's end-of-the-world kind of scenario.
Mexico has just elected a man whose sympathies with Chavez and the Castros he tried to ameliorate during this campaign because it did not work in his favor last time. But, he plans to follow the same recipe that destroyed Venezuela. Hopefully it won't happen, but as you say, we seem to never learn...
Oh that I read, that the "chavismo" is so happy about the result of the Mexican elections... That can't be good :P
Sorry to hear about what's going on in your country man, in the news it's very sad, but when you talk to people it's even sadder. Hopefully something happens and changes things because it can't keep going like that forever.
Yep, that's our consolation. Even the most outrageous tragedies get to an end and people rebuild.
