I have to admit I'm kind of paranoid but the way things were in the 70's and the way they are now makes me shudder.

And if Chavez likes it i question this

Side Note Why do actors and directors fall in love with dictators. Centralized power controlled by one man. Just crazy.  But smaller groups of people are controlling more and more of the world.  money and power

I think I am starting to hate money 

Where did you get the idea that Chavez is a dictator?  He's was democratically elected and has always had the popular support of a majority of the people in Venezuala.

I think you need to question not only why actors and directors may support chavez, but also why the US govt and it's large business interests despise him.  You can't honestly believe it has more to do with his human rights record than it does with the fact that he nationalized the Venezuelan oil industry.

Chavez also virtually controls the media in Venezuela, the election counting may be fair but the campaigns leading up to them certainly aren't. So he's not exactly a dictator, but he's hardly a paragon of democracy either. He falls somewhere in between.
