Linus says: Venezuela's Juan Pablo Perez Alfonso in 1982, one of the founders of OPEC: ''You think we are lucky. I don't think so. We are dying of indigestion... I call petroleum 'the devils excrement.' It brings trouble. Look around you. Look at this locura - waste, corruption, consumption, our public services falling apart... And debt, debt we shall have for years. We are putting our grandchildren in debt.'' http://www.greensalvation.org/English/Facts/H_rights/restructuring.htm Wed Jan 08 13:34:54 CST 2003 (Delete Entry) (Reposted to fix characters - McG)
