This is an open letter to the people of Saskatchewan and anyone who has followed the rise of this beautiful, formerly forgotten Canadian province. Although my business is based in Florida as I happen to hold a U.S. social security number which helped me incorporate it, I now live and work in my home country of Venezuela. The Venezuelan petroleum industry

The fall of the Berlin Wall never escaped my memory. Later I wrote a paper about it during college and looked up at the library for every single magazine published between October and November 1989. What struck me the most is that during October Honecker was just talking nonsense all over and somehow the media were hinting or predicting that such outcome

Based on my readers' comments on my all life hit parade , I attempt here to express the reasons why some great artists were either included or avoided within my ranking. The Beatles certainly deserve their honored place in the history of contemporary music. However, I have not been excessively thrilled by their songs. Perhaps that is because I just

A reliable way of getting to know people is through the music they listen to. I have written a lot about issues but not much about me, so here I list the twenty songs that I have most obsessively listened to during my life.

Selon ma qualité d'observateur étranger, je suis dérangé de voir que les marches et protestes gagnent de la popularité aux États-Unis. Cela reflète une déconnexion plus grosse entre les gens et leur gouvernement. Dans mon cas vénézuelien ce genre de marches s'est produit sans

“ Je suis fasciné sur vos remarques concernant le Vénézuela, et comment les trois questions s'applient là-bas. Je pense de toute façon que, dans une partie importante du monde, le ralentissement ne répresente pas la fin de l'abondance, mais mèrement une forme lègerement réduite

Le triomphe récent de la candidate vénézuélienne au concours de Mademoiselle Univers, pour une deuxième fois consécutive, exemplifie selon mon opinion un bon mélange d'entraînement provenant du cerveau gauche et une réponse synthétique du cerveau droit. Elle a dû endurer

As an outsider observer, it disturbs me a bit that protest marches are becoming more popular in the US. This reflects a wider disconnection between people and their government. In my Venezuelan case these kinds of marches have occurred nonstop since the very beginning of this twenty-first century and nothing beneficial has been achieved for any of the

"I'm fascinated by your points about Venezuela -- and how the three questions apply there. I think, though, that in much of the world, the downturn represents not the end of abundance, but merely a slight reduced form of it. Especially in countries like the US, the material standard of living remains remarkably high. Add in consumers feeling
