re: In response, President Chávez has said that he might be forced to nationalise the coffee industry
Let Chavez take the place into the crapper.
The chaos and poverty he causes will prevent him from attempting to meddle in his neighbor's affairs.
Besides, If Venesuala needs coffee, then they can buy it on the free and open market like everybody else.
Personally this rich Gringo is going to build a greenhouse so that I can grow Bananas, coffee, and vanilla beans myself! Right here in the frozen tundra (Iowa).
P.S. As the greenhouse expands, I plan on adding a 50 Meter lap pool. (just gotta figure out how to combat all that condensation on the glass)
