And you are right, it is easy to follow the law when you control it and change it accordingly. His rule is becoming a guide on how to create a dictatorship. Here are some more excerpts: "Some people are saying we have to pay the international price for Cantv. No," Chavez said on television yesterday. "The state gave that company away. We're going to take it over first, and pay later." "We sold that company too cheap to investors," Chavez said yesterday. I would love to live in his crazy world where I could steal back anything I sold that later appreciates and promise to pay a below-market value at a later date. Them's good economics. I would be the world's greatest investor very quickly, provided I was the only one with that power, like Chavez. Yeah, Chavez is really consolidating all the power in that country to himself.

Talking about CANTV he said something along the lines of "Of course, I'm going to pay the shareholders, I am the state." I'm also fascinated by his interest in making sure everything he does is legal. When you make up the rules as you go along, break rules with impunity and now are in control of every part of the legal process, does legal even really exist? Or rather, does what legal is supposed to embody, really exist? For him there is now no distinction between himself and the state.

Here are some more nuggets from his last broadcast (excerpts from The Associated Press): Addressing the wealthy, Chavez said: "Oh, you have a yacht? Perfect, give to me, buddy. You have a BMW? Well, that's fine. You go around Caracas in a tremendous car. You have a house where you live and another one by sea... You have some marvelous art collections — come here, buddy." "Everything that is collected ... goes to the communal councils," he said. Oh, that Chavez is a character. Here are some more nuggets from his last broadcast (excerpts from The Associated Press):
