Venezuelan

"Judgement comes from experience; and experience comes from bad judgement."

"The Ignorance the people live in leads them to commit mistakes against their own happiness."

- Simón Bolívar [1783-1830], liberator of South American republics from Spanish rule.

A Sean Penn essay on Venezuela and Cuba on this blog here. No mention of Boligarchs; one of the new class of oligarchs rising on the back of the Bolívarian revolution.
