Venezuelan Channel RCTV closed by Chavez

Last night the oldest channel in the whole country was forced out of the air (against constitutional rights) by President Chavez.

RCTV who refused to alter its critique of the current government to favor a Fidel-wannabe president is now out of air and more then 3000 people are out of work as the government took measures to assure that this people who are against a regiment communist in the country were to be employed by other TV channels.

I didn't get the memo.

Chavez is a reminder that liberty comes first, not equality. The only legitimate argument for enforcing equality is in the service of ensuring liberty. Unfortunately Venezuelan voters are 100s of miles away from the nearest libertarian text and do not realise that enforcing equality at the expense of liberty only results in tyranny and everyone being equally oppressed.
