I just read your post from dec 31 about npr stuff about hugo chavez.
It never ceaces to amaze me. a. the fact that most u.s. citizens couldn't acuratley name what continent venezuela is on, or b. who Allende was, or where chile is, or even anywhere south of mexico.
The only thing that ever made me more cynical about the u.s. government than learning about the history of south america and central america was learning about the history of interactions between the u.s. government and the native americans.

saw your post on aoife's page and just wanted to chime in. the revolution will not be televised is awesome!

it does a fine job of illustrating how the media keep us from knowing what's going on (like us stateside americans from knowing who hugo chavez is, for example.)
