(Reuters) - Capitalism may be to blame for the lack of life on the planet Mars, Venezuela's socialist President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday.
"I have always said, heard, that it would not be strange that there had been civilization on Mars, but maybe capitalism arrived there, imperialism arrived and finished off the planet," Chavez said in speech to mark World Water Day.

Chavez has consistently blamed capitalism for all the problems in the world, but this may be the first time he's blamed it for problems on OTHER worlds. :lol:

:doh Im slapping myself because he was being sarcastic and was a total joke people..... Cmon now... :roll:
Does this mean you take Chavez serious and deny that he's a loon?
Do i take him seriously... Uhhhh yesss... Is he a "loon". No, but i dont agree with all the statements he makes..
I take him seriously mainly because he is doing great things for his country and turning his country in the right direction.
So who would you like to see as the future US dictator then?
How is Chavez a dictator again?
Revised the constitution to allow him to implement any measures deemed to be of national interest and criminalize dissent
Eliminated term constitutional limits so that he can be “president” forever and claims he will hold on to power until 2049 when he will turn 95
Expropriates private land, businesses and any assets he wants, particularly those who have politically opposed/resisted his power grab.
Is quashing dissenting views by nationalizing the media (taking control of it), arresting, murdering and intimidating political opposition
Established the Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE) (National Electoral Council) and stacked it with 5 out of 6 members who are completely loyal to him and will do his bidding. Venezuelan law requires the CNE to prohit anyone who has been accused or convicted of corruption from running for political office so Chavez just has the CNE accuse any serious potential political opponents of corruption, thereby insuring he can stack the courts and congress with people loyal to him and insuring he will never face a viable opposition candidate for president.
He controls the police, military and other armed groups and uses them to arrest, murder and intimidate, as well as sieze assets he deems “in the national interest”

Yeah, because runaway inflation, arbitrary detention of political opponents, denial of ballow access and shutting down media that oppose you are such great things. Nice to see that this is what you support. It tells us not to take anything else you say seriously...
Hmmm! Now that you mention it, some of those things might work in this country. Shut down any "alleged" NEWS media that lies. Lock up some of the more flagrant "NEWS" nutters. The inflation is already here. Does anybody lie about the money and banking crisis? We are taxing the poor and subsidizing the wealthy in this country and that's seems to be OK with you. I don't know what a ballow access is , but I'll probably want one if the Media thinks my perception needs to be adjusted to want one. It appears to me that Chavez thinks "Corporatism" is bad for his country.. I agree and think "Corporatism" is bad for this country. I'm not a blind patriot. I think. The corporate hand is up your legislative sock puppets derrierre.

chavez styled socialism is a disease that should be eradicated/ Populistic whining about corporations tends to be the province of the silly
