What Hugo Chavez has done is not new,to be basic.But what it smirks of is the continued existence of minds so bent on holding on to power that they feel resuming the life of an ordinary man is something worthless.
Hugo Chavez,by pushing ahead with this legislation,brings me back to Africa,where it is common practice to change existing laws just to suit an individual's interests,which varies from person to person.It looks like its a permanent developing country phenomena.
It is a mindset that doesn't help our world.And here,Hugo Chavez has hugely failed.
What excites me most is the sentiment that comes out from the lips of presidents world wide:that because a country has a sovereign status,it is better left to itself to deal with its internal issues.
I don't fault the idea of being a soverein country here.What I am opposing is the act of playing with people's rights by abusing the lobbying power that most of the leaders have in their grip.This as a weapon,they run roughshod over established ideals and laws to maintain what they believe is the better way.Its turned out to be wrong most of the time.And that's what continues to destroy the world's democracies.
What I gather is that Hugo Chavez intends to complete his socialist revolution.I don't know if that's what the people in Venezuela need.But I am optimistic they wouldnt trade the term-limit for one individual's beliefs.Because it's this sentiment that has lead to the rise of dictators.

The World Can Now Rejoice
It might sound a bit awkward,but before the 4th of November 2008,the world looked hopeless.Hopeless not in the sense that nothing would be could be done about it's problems,but hopeless in the sense that selfishness would prevail over the necessity for a better leader in times of leadership crisis.
The whole world looks to the US as the leading example in the majority of it's decisions.I am referring to world's nations here.And the direction of the economy and other crucial aspects follow what's happening in America.
Choosing a leader that was the opposite of George Bush was the start of a process that would usher in a new view of the as relates to the way people look at the world and the prospects they have.
Barack Obama basically meant good hope and having him was the only alternative that would bring confidence to the world once again in so many years.
His choice as the 44th President means new challenges for the world as we try to redesign the way things should be done to bring into the fold of prosperity the global citizens.
There should be a quest to support the president-elects effort for a turn-around in American and global affairs.He should therefore be allowed to carry out his plans without selfish disruptive activities from all stake-holders.
This is the right time to change the world together with the champion of change himself.
