This will fuck me up, but what the hell? I'll take it.

And don't worry. Your job is safe!! :-) As long as you pour me something Tall and Strong and keep them coming anyway ;-)

*Pours the vodka in the tall glass where the beer was in*
This is both Tall, and Strong!

Remember, this is Venezuela. When the National Guard shows up (there are some places where they don't dare to go, as the gangs can be as well armed as they are), violent fighting ensues. Lots of people have been killed on both sides. That reminds me, during my time as a hostage, one of the rioters got inside the bus (seemingly to see how many were inside) and said, "close the windows, because if the Guard comes... we're not responsible for what might happen". Those bastards (who, I must remind everyone, were heavily armed), were ready to kill anybody who interfered.

Also, and maybe this will be an unpopular opinion abroad, but, after all I've seen and heard in the last four days... the Venezuelan Opposition has completely disillusioned me. The politicians at the helm, with some exceptions, have proven themselves to be incompetent and incapable of organizing themselves effectively. The people on the streets, the people on the barricades, have proven themselves to be just as ruthless as the Government and the security apparatus they claim to be fighting against. Public and private institutions have been burnt, people have been killed mercilessly... and for what? The Armed Forces are still loyal to the Government and will quell any insurrection. I'm still hoping for a change (the Government is completely responsible for the crisis, they keep sending the security forces after the people marching peacefully in the streets, and they're still trying to cement their dictatorship), and if the Opposition politicians are the only alternative, so be it. But the Government will only fall if, 1- they organize democratic elections (which I doubt will happen), 2- the Army switches sides and overthrows Maduro by itself, or 3- the whole population takes up arms, which won't happen as long as there arev people still supporting the Government. This country is completely, irreversively screwed, and, honestly, I don't see a way out of this situation.
