Rob, the distinguishing factor is that you read the news. The overwhelming majority of Dominicans don't read the news if they are functionally literate enough to read it. They have people on the televisions to read them the selected news. There's a huge difference between reading anewspaper and having a few articles read to you. As per raising money, its just like the Hippie's request for remittances for his people. Da me cinco pesos? He should go live with his good friend Chavez. I can't believe tha the populace is letting this happen to them.
