so that's how you justify Chavez stealing 2 billion from his proverty striken country. wowow I don't give a flying fuck how much he stole. He actually did something for his people. He actually reduced the poverty rate, provided health care, provided education. These facts are flying over your head. OTOH, instead of you worrying about the people of Venezuela, you should be worrying about the American people. but no, how could the man deprive greedy American companies from stealing from his people. That makes him a bad man, right? However, it is okay for our government to steal from us and give Israel, right? It is not okay for our government to steal from us and give Americans that need a helping hand, right? What happened to Geezez teachings? Share the burden, love thy neighbor and all the rest?

Homeless Houston Veteran Cited for Dumpster Diving in Search for Food [Listen] Mar 10, 2013 A homeless Houston veteran has been ticketed for dumpster diving, in his quest for food. (Credit: Provided) Scouring for his next meal in a dumpster downtown, a homeless man is ticketed by Houston Police. Now, opponents point to the citation as validation of arguments against the city’s homeless feeding ordinance. Cited for “disturbing the contents of a garbage can in downtown central business district,” the 44-year-old Caucasian man is known only as K.J., in a redacted ticket issued by police the morning of March 7. But now, he is quickly becoming a symbol of how the city’s 2012 feeding ordinance victimizes the poor, says Joe Ablaza, an opponent of the policy. K.J. is a homeless veteran forced to dumpster dive for food where he once relied on the kindness of strangers. And now, even that source of food is in jeopardy, he says.
