This morning, yet another story on the devastating destruction of Venezuela crossed my desk. People are roaming the streets, rummaging through trash cans and killing domestic cats and dogs for food. There is no food in markets in Venezuela. Most hospitals have been shut down. In this oil rich country, the refineries are barely functional and there is little-to-no gasoline. Venezuela now has very limited electrical power. Those who are able have, already, left the country. Although Venezuela had its political problems for many years—on a Caribbean cruise in the 1980s the cruise ship on which my husband and I were traveling couldn't visit Caracas due to Leftist political turmoil raging in the city--its deconstruction and reconstruction as a 4th world country (one which has out of necessity reverted back to the hunter-gatherer modality) hadn't yet occurred. Venezuela was back on its feet for some time before it's utter demise was to begin, in 1999, under the brutal Marxist Hugo Chavez regime.
