How &quot;sorry&quot; would you feel for this neighbor?  Or would you feel &quot;entitled&quot; to payback from this neighbor who had everything going for him but chose not to help himself?  Maybe even a piece of his beautiful and bountiful garden so your family can enjoy life?]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t outright disagree with a lot of what you said; but I would like to have an answer from you to a hypothetic question:  If you, Randy, had a neighbor who, because he borrowed more than he could pay back on a bank loan and spent it willy-nilly on fulfilling his desires , would you (being a benevolent person that you are) go to the bank on his behalf and pay off his debt WITHOUT EXPECTING something in return?

How can the former , and present day,  President think they are doing this out of the goodness of their heart? COMMUNIST CHINA does nothing for free. They ALWAYS expect something in return!! Such as getting a foot in the door of the C. R. Government. Then C.R. is lost to COMMUNISM!! Think I am wrong? Examples: Venezuela. Cuba. Nicarauga. Just to name three. Those were beautiful ,free countries. Now look. Each ,so called, President was elected by The People. Shortly thereafter, The Presidents declared themselves &quot;LIFETIME Heads of State.&quot; Oh they held elections, and always won by landslides. I can&#039;t imagine Costa Ricans being that blinded by COMMUNIST LIES!! Some of us aren&#039;t allowed to vote in C.R.&#039;s Presidental elections, but that doesn&#039;t mean WE can&#039;t sound the alarm when we see the freedom of a beautiful country being assaulted and threatened. I hope Costa Ricans wake up before it is too late, and loose one of the most precious things that all of us enjoy.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A short look back: COMMUNIST CHINA built a stadium , gave C.R. several Police Cars, Gave several million  dollars in loans, several million more as gifts, gave several million for a POLICE ACADEMY, the list goes on and on.
