Way back in the days following the Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska, there was a woman, Riki Ott, who had, up until that time, made her living as a fisherman off the coast of Alaska. She was a friend of one of my old friends from high school. During that time, my friend was keeping me posted on what was going on with Riki. After the oil spill, she wasn't able to continue to make her living as a fisherman, and she became a lobbyist for enviornmental groups. She was very effective at this, and threats had been made on her life by people who didn't like what she was doing.

As a deterrent, some people took out an insurance policy on her life, with the beneficiary being an environmental lobby group, and the benefit was at least a million dollars to be given to the group if she got killed.

Maybe Chavez ought to have an insurance policy taken out for his life with the benefits (some obscenely large amount) going to some organization or group that the Bush people hate.
