Jetbert looks in, but since I know hi...Natsukashii! <BR/><BR/>Jetbert looks in, but since I know him, it's not quite the same thing; he actually was the person who encouraged me to start a blog. Anyhow, you're the first Daikoner that I know of to stumble onto the site independently. Thanks for the Chavez links -- I'm off to work soon, but I'll spend some time with them when I return. I'm less enamoured of the left than I was on Daikon -- I'm sure they'd duly sweep any of these aspects of Chavez under the carpet, in the name of supporting socialism or such -- and I write more about the Vancouver arts scene than anything global on this site... but perhaps some of the tone of what I write will be familiar, for whatever its worth. <BR/><BR/>I don't capitalise so much here, though, since italics are an option...<BR/><BR/>Hope all is well --<BR/><BR/>A.Allan MacInnishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05394301776870727673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762075.post-1125401636330841182005-08-30T04:33:00.000-07:002005-08-30T04:33:00.000-07:00Hi Pemmican, stumbled on this blog after seeing on...Hi Pemmican, <BR/>stumbled on this blog after seeing one of your amazon reviews, and immediately recognised the prose style and subject matter from bigdaikon (eg CAPITALISATION of words in sentences). On BD I was posting under the name Natukashii. Anyway, good to have a place to read your take on the world, now you've left the daikon. If you want an informed anti-Chavez viewpoint, you couldn't do better than this blog listed below, which is buy an anti-Chavez activist in Venezuela. Heartily recommend looking at the archives from late 2003, when Chavez was using hired militias to attack the anti-chavez protestors, and . Also very good on Chavez erosion of freedom of speech and independent media. The entry on Chavez daily TV chatshow 'Hola Presidente' is particularly good. <BR/><BR/>http://daniel-venezuela.blogspot.com/2003_07_20_daniel-venezuela_archive.html<BR/><BR/>AND<BR/><BR/>http://daniel-venezuela.blogspot.com/2003_06_29_daniel-venezuela_archive.html<BR/><BR/>and<BR/><BR/>http://daniel-venezuela.blogspot.com/2003_06_29_daniel-venezuela_archive.html<BR/><BR/>NATAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
