Indeed, things like that should be covered in the media so maybe the lessons can be known (I hesitate to say "learned") before we go down that road much further.

I have had the privilege to befriend two families who recently escaped Venezuela. Man...let me tell you, their stories are frightening.

Indeed, it does not give you a picture of "we got ourselves to blame".

That picture really drives it home. It's much friendlier, much kinder and gentler than pictures of people using force on people because of their race and making them line up to get their rations. It's underhanded evil, like the evil woman in the AS motor plant who doled out alms to the workers who could prostrate themselves the most pathetically before her. I think I'd rather deal with some hates me for my race, sexuality, being educated, or whatever than someone who pretends to be doing people a favor.
