Chavez to regulate private automobiles.

[endarkenment]

In an unprecedented act of stalinist tyranny, the Chavinista Dictatorship in Venezuela announced today that all private automobiles will be regulated by the federal government. Strict safety and emissions standards will be imposed on private automobiles, and those private vehicles that fail to meet these new standards, imposed by the rubber stamp legislature, will be confiscated by the socialist government, and their owners fined. Commercial vehicles from the beseiged private sector will also be subject to this extreme measure.

6. Am I laughing?

This is just the first step. Next they are going after the water and the air, claiming that these resources belong 'to the people' (and we know what that means, wink wink nudge nudge).

Despite the danger, DHMO is often used:
Used in many forms of cruel animal research;
The US Navy has a secret distribution network for DHMO;
Lakes and rivers all over the world are contaminated with DHMO;
In the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical;
As an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products;
