“Chavez plans to fully recover from his undisclosed cancer by year’s end .....”

It does not matter how much power or money one has there are some things in life that are beyond control.

Sr. Chavez will become increasingly glad of the power of the pain-killing drugs with which he is being injected and infused.

He may develop serious psychological problems as his desire for cleanliness becomes compromised by cancer - his increasing smell and his incontinence.

If he is not very careful, his increasing psychological disturbance could make for very bad governance of the nation.

- a problem compounded by his policy of removing from government circles and national administration, individuals of competence with a capacity for independent action.

Whilst he still has a semblence of mental acuity, he would be well advised to gather together the best administrators still alive, and prepare them for the process of a post-Chavez, truly democratic governance.

He never was what we call “Normal”. But the things he has done being “Normal” , just imagin what he will do when losing his mental stability.
God forbid.
