I agree. Como cambiar el mundo, cambia su conciencia.

But at the same time we must eat. I am concerned about the food. On Margarita prices are going crazy; yesterday I saw cebollas (onions) for 15.90 Bs/kilo. Two months ago they were 3-5 Bs. Right now there is plenty of food (except coffee, no coffee in the stores and I love coffee), but how could a poor obrero feed their family on 40 Bs a day with food at these prices? And with the oil going down down down? BsF/$ today is 5.75:1. Ouch.

I am trying to get people interested in growing food, but no one seems interested. I have a lot of plants started in little pots on the patio, tomate, pimenton, ahi, patilla, and I have friends with land where I can have a siembra (garden) but they don't want to help. Growing food is for campesinos, you know. I think there is a lot of food right now because of the election, so things look good, but after November....

The people do not know what is coming.
